AUSTRIA ~ St. Johann - Kitzbühel - Tyrol ~

... Lovely views of a typical Tyrolean mountain town... known for its picturesque setting between the Kitzbüheler Horn and the Wilder Kaiser mountains... this Baroque town offers beyond skiiing a range of activities like hiking, mountain biking, swimming, and exploring the town's historical sites... with the cable car in St. Johann you get to experience the Harschbichl beneath the Kitzbüheler Horn in both summer and winter... the building in the foreground is the historic Gasthof zum Dampfl, which formerly also served as a post and telegraph office (‘Post Telegraphenemt’)... with great minisheet celebrating 150 Year Anniversary of the Pneumatic Tube Network... Thanks a lot Dustin!ヽ(•‿•)ノ
