One thing is very clear on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road: "the journey is the reward". It is not about arriving at the top, it's about experiencing the pass road with all its views, places for a stop, display boards and information points. Various huts and restaurants along the road are waiting for your visit. At the Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Höhe you have a unique view, which is dominated by the Grossglockner and the Pasterze, Austria's largest glacier. The hiking trails into the Gamsgrube amidst the special conservation area of the High Tauern National Park affords unique views and sightings of rare alpine animals, such as the majestic ibex and marmots.

Just a short 20-minute drive from Lynden lies the vibrant city of Bellingham, home to the magnificent Whatcom Falls Park. Centered around the cascading waters of Whatcom Creek, the park features a stunning series of waterfalls that give it its name. You can wander through towering ancient forests alive with activity, from joggers and dog walkers to families enjoying picnics. The park also offers recreational amenities including a playground and tennis courts.

Travel back in time, into the period of knights’ fights, by experiencing theatre and music performances, traditional fairs with jugglers, magicians and handcraft shows, and an evening parade of ghosts. While learning more, and fundamentally, about the days back then, you will also experience a lot of fun.
