Rural for Sunday Stamps

This stamp on an envelope from Elke shows a bend in the river Moselle, featuring a small town surrounded by fields. I do like the little postal horn on the postmark.



It is from a series promoting tourism that shows Germany's most beautiful panoramas. Here is the whole view, of which I only have the left half. I was unable to find the town's name on the web.

    Peut être le Mont Calmont et la ville de Bremm :)

      I looked on google maps - Bremm would work for the stamp on the right, but there would be no village near by to match the left stamp. The Moselle has too many bends :)

    If I read German well enough, it might be Kröv and Traben-Trarbach / Wolf. (but which of these words is the name of the town and which the name of the region wasn't so clear to me - you might search further with these names :-) )

    It is an amazing panorama!

      I think you have found the answer, Heleen. Kröv appears to be the settlement on the right stamp, which means the village on the left stamp is called Wolf. Nice detective work.

      It really does, I can see why this view was chosen.

    I love how stamps are little works of art

    a river is always so nice in a calm rural scene.

      This bend reminds me of learning about how oxbow lakes are formed. I'm guessing that wouldn't happen now as I'm sure there would be human intervention.

    I have got some stamps from these series of landscapes, and I really love them. They look superb on mail. But, regarding this specific stamp, I have only got the same as you, and not the other part of the river.

    That river could soon develop as an ox-bow lake.
