Descrizione

The Kaiser Franz Josefs Höhe is a viewing point overlooking a large mountainous area with valleys, steep cliffs and a magnificent view over the Großglockner mountain. The area is a very good place for many typical mountain species, birds and mammals alike.

The viewing point consists of a large parking area with several viewing points overhanging the steep cliffs and valleys. The nearby grassy areas lack bushes and trees, so songbirds are hard to find. These areas are covered with Edelweiss flowers and small groups of Alpine Marmots. Also herds of Alpine Ibex can be seen nearby and on the other side of the valley on the steep cliffs (use binocular or telescope). Small flocks of Gracchio alpino tend to hang around the parking area for scraps. They are very noisy, so easily found. The rocky areas surrounding the parking lot are good for Sordone and Fringuello alpino. If you're lucky, a Codirossone shows up.

The area gives you also a very good oppurtunity to observe raptors. They tend to be scarce in numbers, all species alike, but the area to observe is large and wide enough to give you a good oppurtunity to find Aquila reale, Grifone and, if you're really lucky, a Gipeto. Other species that can be seen are Rondine montana and Rondone maggiore.
