Wilhelm-Swarovski Observatory
At the end of the Großglockner High Alpine Road you are in the Hohe Tauern National Park and up near the glacier there is this glass observatory. From the outside the structure is designed to look like a piece of rock crystal. There is an exhibition inside and some telescopes for viewing the surrounding area. We saw a couple of marmots just below the building- I'm sure they hang out there because tourists throw them crisps and snacks!
Anyway, I sat on the ground by in the entrance hall to get this shot looking up and out through the roof.
