Well, this is the first of a small collection of videos detailing some new parts to the ETS2 map with the Austria rework, added by SCS Software with e the 1.44 update.

There are many impressive sections to this newly updated region, but probably the most iconic is the Großglöckner Hochalpenstraß, or the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, one of the highest passes in the Alps. Normally closed to commercial traffic, I picked my strongest truck and, throwing caution to the wind, whacked an "I identify as a Porsche" sticker on the front, ignored the warning and drove it anyway.

Thankfully, it was summer in game, otherwise this road would have been closed...
