Germany: Geißenklösterle

On 2nd October I got four postcards: two from Germany and two from Austria. 

One of the cards from Germany shows the Geißenklösterle. The Geißenklösterle is an important archaeological site of the European Upper Paleolithic, as it contains traces of early prehistoric art from between 43000 and 30000 years ago. For example the oldest known musical instruments were found here. As one of the six Caves and Ice Age Art in the Swabian Jura it is since 2017 on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This finally (again) completes my collection of German UNESCO Sites.

The card was cancelled with the Covid-19 postmark from the mail sorting centre 41 on World Postcard Day.


 Thank You very much Marcel!
