Gerlos Pass

Gerlos Pass (elevation 1,500 m, 4,921 ft) is a mountain pass in the Austrian Alps between the Oberpinzgau region in the state of Salzburg and the Zillertal valley in Tyrol. The old road leads from Wald im Pinzgau to Gerlos in the Zillertal valley. It is closed to trucking and not always open in winter. A new toll road that is open all year was built in the 1960s from Krimml to Gerlos.[1]

History

The first road across the Gerlos Pass was built in 1630. The Gerlosstraße road via Filzsteinalm pasture and the Gerlos plain was completed in 1962. The Durlaßboden reservoir and the Tauernkraftwerke power stations are situated on the western slope.[1]

gollark: It works non-laggishly on 4GB. The issue is that it crashes with errors about failing to allocate memory fairly often.
gollark: I think I set it to 4GB.
gollark: I'd probably play more if the server was busier and the pack somewhat less computationally heavy.
gollark: 8GB.
gollark: I quite like 1.7. I mean, Thaumcraft, Rotary/Reactor/ChromatiCraft, etc. are available, and most mods have some versions available on 1.7 still. The main problem with this pack for me is that I have to close Firefox or run out of RAM, due to the 300 mods.
