An ancient automobile parked on an Alpine road with snow-covered mountains in the background. The words "Abfahrt Großglockner gegen Heiligenblut" are handwritten on the back of the print. So this is the southbound descent from Großglockner High Alpine Road leading towards the village of Heiligenblut.

A rare Austro-Daimler open tourer parked on the side of a glistening Alpine road with snow-covered mountains in the background. At first sight, one might think this photo was taken in the 1930s. On closer inspection, however, the post-war licence plates and the car in the background reveal that it actually dates from the fifties. The location is most likely Großglockner High Alpine Road. The Austro-Daimler is registered in the state of Styria (St = Steiermark).

Four adventurous motorists posing with a sidecar motorcycle and an open two-seater automobile on an Alpine road. They are gazing up the valley towards the village of Heiligenblut and the snow-covered peak of Grossglockner – Austria's highest mountain – in the distance. Heiligenblut marks the southern starting point of Grossglockner High Alpine Road, so possibly the four are about to cross the Alps on their way north to Zell am See. The motorbike is registered in the city of Vienna (A = Wiener Polizeirayon).
