The Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Hohe Look-out Point - A Glimpse into Austria's Majestic Alpine Landscape
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Hohe look-out point on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road in Austria, circa 1935. Named after Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, who visited this spot in 1856, it offers a stopping place for travelers to admire panoramic views that stretch as far as the eye can see. The Grossglockner High Alpine Road, also known as Groszglocknerstrasze, is an engineering marvel and holds the distinction of being Austria's highest surfaced mountain pass road. Opened in August 1935, it winds its way through breathtaking mountainscapes and provides an unforgettable driving experience. In this image, we see a car park filled with vintage automobiles of that era. The snow-capped peaks towering above create a dramatic backdrop against which these vehicles are parked. It is evident that visitors from all walks of life were drawn to this extraordinary location to witness nature's grandeur firsthand. This print not only showcases the natural splendor but also serves as a historical testament to Austrian culture and heritage during the early 20th century. With its timeless appeal and evocative charm, it reminds us why this iconic destination continues to captivate travelers even today. From "Osterreich - Land Und Volk" by R. Lechner (Wilhelm Muller), Vienna c1935; courtesy of The Print Collector via Heritage Images.
