Cycling Adventure: Guest reseacher Gregory Kopp Tours Austria

During his stay as a guest researcher at the University of Graz, Gregory Kopp embarked on an impressive five-day bike tour: from Lienz over the Großglockner High Alpine Road, through Zell am See, into Berchtesgaden and to Königsee in Germany, then through Salzburg and along the lakes to the east, and finally south to Hallstatt. Covering more than 340 km and about 6,000 meters of elevation, this route took him through some of Austria’s most stunning scenery.

Although this unique research station at 1500 metres above sea level is located on the Carinthian Gerlitzen, it has been part of the University of Graz for more than 75 years.
