Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse

Hello,

I have few pics that I'd like to share with you. Yesterday me and my girlfriend went for a roadtrip to Grossglockner. The scenery there is amazing and roads are very well maintained... I'll just let the pictures do the talking :smile:

Nice pics. Is that village where the Keebler elves come from?

Thanks. Well it sure looks like there could be few of them running around and driving the mill :wink:

TunedM2C · 09-07-2008, 10:20 AM

I need a vacation after seeing these pics.

eunosracr · 09-07-2008, 10:32 AM

Awesome shots.

imported_easyman · 09-07-2008, 11:44 AM

Very nice pics, making it hard for me to make the economical choice and get an inexpensive car.

Thanks for sharing

Hey...where in Slovenia are you? Looks nice. I'll have to look into a trip through Grossglockner. I'm always up for any nice drive! Wanna trade wheels?!

) Nice pics!

THellURider · 09-07-2008, 12:18 PM

Ya, now I have to make a road trip there as well. I'm planning one over Stelvio Pass (chosen as best driving road in 2007 on Top Gear), to Lugano, Italy, then back over another pass in to St. Moritz, Switzerland and then back home.

Off to Google maps I go...

ETA: damn I didn't realize that was THAT close to me! haha. Dayum.

Joey_T · 09-07-2008, 12:45 PM

Thanks for the compliments :smile: If you have a chance take a tour along this road. If anyone is interested, this is the route I took:

I'm from the capital city of Slovenia, which is Ljubljana. He he I'll stay with 261 M style wheels :biggrin:

I'd be coming from the other direction but I may just add it into my original road trip and add a day to it.

Do you live in Slovenia now?

CAMike · 09-07-2008, 12:55 PM

I'm only about 2 or so hours from Ljubljana and have been there several times. Villach is only about an hour and a half from me so I could follow your same route. Thanks for posting this!! If you get tired of those 261's keep me in mind!! We should do a 135 meet at the BMW Welt in Munich as there seems to be quite a few of us within a days drive of Munich.

THellURider · 09-07-2008, 01:08 PM

I'm 2 hours from there.

But aren't most of us south of there? Then how about Bregenz or something like that?

So you know Ljubljana :smile: I see that you are in Aviano - are you a pilot? That would be great if we could arrange a sort of a 135i meeting and drive through some alpine roads or met at the BMW welt!

Well Slovenia is my home country :smile:

CAMike · 09-07-2008, 01:23 PM

Nope...I'm a teacher but yes I have been to Ljubljana (mostly to the big shopping area and the indoor pool/spa). Would love to do a drive through some nice Alpine passes. Isn't there a nice drive near Bled? Isn't there a KW suspension dealer/installer in Ljubljana?

THellURider · 09-07-2008, 01:31 PM

we could just meet at the Stelvio Pass.

Or I'd be down for heading to Maranello...

135i_TT · 09-07-2008, 01:43 PM

bozola · 09-07-2008, 01:58 PM
