Carinthian toll road over the rounded Nock mountains.

The Nockalmstraße is a 34km panoramic toll road through the Nockberge of Carinthia, running between Innerkrems and Ebene Reichenau and topping out around 2042m. It is known for its rhythmic switchbacks across the soft grass-domed Nock peaks within a nature park, and is open roughly May to October. Mind the seasonal closure, the toll and grazing livestock on open sections.
