INTRODUCTION

      On the Sonnblick Kees glacier (Glockner Rucksack Route, Stage 7 Excursion)

      The Hohe Tauern National Park is the largest national park not only in Austria and the Eastern Alps but the whole of continental Europe, comprising an area of 1800km2. Within Austria it embraces the provinces of Tyrol, Salzburg and Karnten (Carinthia). Not surprisingly the national park’s main point of focus is the Gross Glockner, the highest mountain in Austria, closely followed by the Gross Venediger, the fourth highest mountain and one which also has the distinction of having the highest number of connected glaciers in Austria. To the west, the Hohe Tauern merges with the Reichen Group to encompass the largest concentration of 3000m peaks in the Eastern Alps. The Hohe Tauern National Park is now a World Heritage Area, ranking alongside Yosemite, Serengeti, the Galapagos Islands and Mount Everest.
