Last Monday I got three postcards from Austria.
One of them shows the Tyrolean Zugspitzarena. The Zugspitze is the highest mountain in Germany and is located directly at the Austrian-German border, which runs over its western summit. Three cable cars run to the top of the mountain. The first of them was the Tyrolean Zugspitze Cable Car, which was built in 1926.
A special postmark about the Bicentenary of the First Ascent of the Zugspitze was used on the card. One definitive about accessories and ornaments of traditional costumes (issued 01-04-2020) and a stamp about Herbert Brandl (issued 25-06-2020) got cancelled with this postmark.
Thank You very much Anita!
In Germany a prepaid cover was issued on 6th August to celebrate the bicentenary. It shows Josef Naus, who led the first ascent, and also commemorates the 90th anniversary of the Bavarian Zugspitze Railway.
