The Wallackhaus is a mountain inn located at 2304 meters above sea level on Großglocknerstrasse in the Austrian state of Carinthia . Immediately to the east is the Großglockner - Heiligenblut ski area . The Wallackhaus was created in 1930 from a canteen for the construction workers on Großglocknerstrasse, south of the tunnel on the Hochtorpass . The house was named after the engineer Franz Wallack, who was responsible for planning the road .
history
After the construction work was completed, the house developed into an inn serving tourism in 1935. In 1951, an avalanche destroyed the Wallackhaus, which at that time was only managed in summer, and it was rebuilt elsewhere in summer of the same year. Since the mid-1990s, the house has been adapted to the growing needs of tourism, particularly motorcycle tourism, through modernization and fundamental expansion.
The Carinthian Grenzweg leads past the house.
