Part 2 starts with the remainder of the descent from Franz Josefs Glacier & then takes you back onto the main Grossglockner Alpine road to the tunnel at Hochtor where you get a brief rest before tackling the short climb to the top of the Fuscher Torl, from here you can spin down the climb with some of the best views in Austria.
