Irresistible attraction of Alpine roads

#1 in Flickr Explore March 18, 2024

View of the St. Gotthard pass (2106 m) from the south. This main pass in the Swiss Alps is called the "King of Mountain Passes".
The drive to the Gotthard Pass along the cobblestone paved historic Tremola road is a breathtaking and attractive experience. One of the highest paved roads in Europe, it is the longest road monument in Switzerland.
In its most important stretch, over a length of four kilometers it climbs a height of 300 meters in 24 hairpin bends
