The nicest climb (and descent) I've done Austria so far.

The Nockalm Road is one of the absolute classics for road cycling in Carinthia. The toll-paying panoramic road leads from Ebene Reichenau over the Schiestlscharte (2,024 m) to Innerkrems. I checked out the ascent via the pass road to the Glockenhütte and was completely thrilled.
