Description from Strava:

Sunday morning at the end of the road above Flattach, Carinthia, Austria. Actually this is the place where the subway train to the Mölltaler Gletscher has its base station. Before the tunnel for the train was built, bored into the mountain, we needed to drive for another 15 kilometers up the mountain on a steep and winding and narrow road.

Yesterday morning I ran up for the first 14 turns or 2 kilometers. It was an easy and slow run, of course, with lots of photo stops. Here are the results.

Start of the run, at 7:30 in the morning. The road is hidden above the structures and to the left.

There is a 150 meters long tunnel between turns 7 and 8. No lights.

Coming out of the tunnel.

This water pipe comes out to the surface at a couple of places. It delivers fuel for the water power plant from the accumulation lakes high above in the mountains.

Rocks, waterfalls, snow.

Turns are marked with number plates. From the making of this plate on at turn number 14 you can see that the road is quite ancient.

Here is where I turned back down.

And this is where we spent the day, at the other end of the road with the skiing slope in between. Altitude 3150 meters.

It was a great day.

Ps. altitude gained on the run was 264 meters.

better and better
