12 kilometers of cascading ice with breathtaking views you must see
Because of the temperate climate and the low altitude, the Franz Josef glacier is among the most convenient glaciers in the world to venture. The foot of the glacier offers an easy walk along the river valley while you take in the magnificent views of the steep sides that bear large scars from the time the glaciers retreated and advanced over thousands of years.
The Frans Jozef glacier is 12kilometers long and approximately 7000 years old. Meeting the river valley less than 300 meters above sea level. The best way to view this glacier is from above, but the easy hike of around 4 kilometers deserves the second place and is a must-do when you visit the area.
