HIGHLIGHTS ALONG THE ROAD In the St.-Vinzenz-church in Heiligenblut, a vial with a mysterious fluid is stored. According to the legend, it contains the holy blood of Christ. This tour is a splendid combination of DRIVING PLEASURE & THE BEAUTY OF NATURE Originally, called as “Zelle im Pinzgau” , the little town is renamed as Zell am See since 1810. In case you are carrying your swimwear – the lake has drinking water quality. In Mittersill, the “Nationalparkwelten” and the new “360°-Nationalparkwelt” is worth a visit (refer to page 38). Eight topics with many interactive stations as well as one breathtaking panorama film of the mountain peaks of the Hohe Tauern are worth a visit. In the National Park House in Matrei, there are exciting exhibitions and information. Central element is the water. It accompanies the visitor from the upper to the lower floor and spreads there on glass plates over the entire room. Lienz with its main square seamed with historic buildings can fit anywhere in Italy. Also the climate contributes partly to the easy Lienz life – so many hours of sunshine like here, can be found hardly anywhere else. The “Pasterze glacier wheel” in the glacier world of the museum depicts the changes of the largest Tauern glacier right from the Ice age to this day.
