Our first backpack belated honeymoon trip to Austria--Day 5 (Heiligentblut and Franz-Joseph- Hohe)

Good morning everyone! Can you see the white mountain? That's our today destination, Franz-Joseph-Hohe. We were going to visit the glacier. Thanks God for a brilliant weather!

There is a huge crystal fountain.

The ice was melting to be a river. We saw many small temporary  river on the way to FJH.

We took this picture on the bus.

The Top of Austria-- Mt. Glockner. The shape of the mountain looks like a bell, so it's named Glockner.


The Glacier.-->
















We went down to the glacier by tram. It cost €9.10 per person for a round trip.

After got off the tram, we needed to hike about 30 mins down to the glacier. The road was quite difficult to hike though they had contributed a stair.

Mid way of the hiking route. Our legs were shaking because of the large amount of sudden exercises.

Because of the global warming, the glacier is melting. The glaicer was here 20 years ago.

Finally, we had arrived.

There were many small ponds. They were different colors.

Time to went back up. The tram track was horribly straight!











                                                                                    



You could enjoy the meal and the view at the same time. We planned to sit outside, however there were many birds. Mrs. Lui has birdphobia.

There were some cuties on the grass and grapping for food. We forgot their name, so we called it "Pu Pu mouse".














If you want to go to Franz-Joseph-Hohe, you may take the postbus from Heiligenblut. However, the schedule wasn't frenquent. You better spend a night at Heiligenblut.
