Postcard from Austria!

Today I got a nice postcard from Austria! The postcard shows multiple views and scenes in Maria Waldrast, which is located in the Austrian state of Tyrol. It is a monastery and is a popular pilgrimage site. It is located in the Mühlbachl valley, where several small chapels also reside. The inn of the monastery is a popular starting point for hikes in the surrounding mountain area and for winter sports. The monastery is located 1683 metres above sea level and is one of the highest in Europe. The card was sent by Matty from Italy who went there on a pilgrimage. Interesting stamps were used. Thanks Matty!
