The '''Wallackhaus''' is a mountain hut located on the [Grossglockner High Alpine Road](/source/Grossglockner_High_Alpine_Road) in the [Austria](/source/Austria)n state of [Carinthia](/source/Carinthia). Immediately to the east is the Großglockner - Heiligenblut ski area. The Wallackhaus was created in 1930 from a canteen for the construction workers on Großglocknerstrasse, south of the tunnel on the Hochtor Pass. The house was named after the engineer [Franz Wallack](/source/Franz_Wallack), who was commissioned to plan the road.

== History ==
After the construction work was completed, the house developed into an inn serving tourism in 1935. In 1951, an [avalanche](/source/avalanche) destroyed the Wallackhaus, which was then only managed in summer, and it was rebuilt elsewhere in the summer of the same year. Since the mid-1990s, the house has been adapted to the growing needs of tourism, especially motorcycle tourism, through modernization and fundamental expansion.<ref>[https://www.wallackhaus.at/de/geschichte.html Internetseite über die Geschichte des Hauses]</ref>
