The Semmering Railway | Austria


Postcard
The Semmeringbahn is a mountain railway crossing the Semmering, a mountain pass in Austria. Built over 41 km of high mountains between 1848 and 1854, it is one of the greatest achievements of civil engineering from this pioneering phase of railway building.

The Semmering Railway is UNESCO World Heritage site.

Stamp
The postcard was actually send from Germany. Normally I only show cards sent from the country of origin. But I guess the exception proves the rule.
