Austria: Gmunden

Last Monday I got three postcards from Austria.

One of them shows an aerial view of Gmunden. Gmunden is a city on the north shore of the Traunsee in the Salzkammergut in the Austrian State of Upper Austria. Especially during the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire it was a popular place for the upper classes to spend the summer. It is also known for the Gmudner Keramik, a special type of pottery. 


Two definitives about accessories and ornaments of traditional costumes (issued 01-04-2020) were used on the card and got cancelled with two interesting postmarks. The left one celebrates the Millennial of the Traunkirchen Monastery and the right one shows a view of Gmunden with the note European Capital of Culture 2024. Both were used during the "phila"-Toscana.


Thank You very much Anita!
