Grossglockner is Austria's highest peak and the eastern Alps' most impressive summit. Rising to a height of almost 3900 meters, the 'BLACK MOUNTAIN' towers over an Alpine natural paradise, the Hohe Tauern National Park, where ibex and chamoix roam the cliffs, wild flowers grow in amazing profusion and golden eagles soar above the valleys. Using state-of-the-art camera techniques, Georg Riha presents dizzying perspectives of the glaciers, sheer cliffs and steep ravines that shape the face of this rocky giant and continue to attract and challenge a steady stream of mountaineers.
