Ice Cave

Good: Although Eisriesenwelt is just a cave of frozen water, it’s nevertheless a unique natural sight to see. Photography is not allowed during the guided tours in order to keep the people moving quickly along, so I was only able to take a mental snapshot of the superb ice formation that looks like the side profile of an anime character, fringe included.

Not-so-good: Foggy, rainy weather made it difficult to drive on the winding, narrow mountain roads, and dampened the experience at the could-have-been-spectacular Grossglockner Alpine Road.

Noteworthy food/drink: Lip-smacking Schweinebraten (pork roast) from the supermarket hot food section. Great snack for the road.
