where are the tolls on Grossglockner scenic road?

Question

I give up and am asking for help. I have just spent an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out exactly where the tolls are, north and south, so that I can try to find accommodation between them.

Why? Because my assumption is if we enter from the north toll and overnight in Heilgenblut we would have to again pay to head  back north on it the next morning. I think the it is outside the tolled area.

Am I correct?

I'm also trying to avoid having to drive the road up and back in one go.

We'll be spending the morning half of the day at Hallstatt after sleeping close by the night before. So that's why I don't want to go up and immediately back. It's not like we've got the entire day to experience it. I'm planning to leave Hallstatt  about 1 :30 pm to drive from there to Heilgenblut.

And we need to return our car rental at Salzburg Hbf at 6 pm the next day and don't want to do the round trip on the  Grossglockner the next day because it would eat up too much time. We'd like to have a more leisurely drive back to Salzburg after coming back north  after breakfast.

Our date is May 12-13 '22.

The tolls are at each end of the road - Fusch and Heilgenblut.

If you overnight in Heilgenblut you'll need to pay twice, but as you've hopefully read, the return ticket is only €13 if you present the ticket from the previous day, not the full price.

thank you so much for your prompt reply. Interestingly enough, after I'd posted my question, I finally tried something new....I searched for a website for the road. Bingo. Found the 13E rate for the next day. Problem solved. I'm so glad we'll be able to stop at the top overnight. That just adds to the experience. Waking up in the morning and looking out the window or from a balcony is going to be superb!

The website allows purchase online but not for the 2nd day. Is that just bought on the 2nd day at the toll upon showing the ticket for the previous day?

I suppose the town of Heilgenblut is just beyond the toll booths.

If weather is bad on the following day you can still cancel your drive and use regular roads towards Salzburg. http://www.grossglockner.at
