Description:
The pagate shows on one side a suitably equipped mountain hiker sipping from a hip flask and opposite a lady in a tightly laced dirndl dress. Only this one card has a horizontal image division. Tarocke ll to XXl show touristically developed areas from Austrian mountain regions across the entire width of the picture. In each case, an accommodation option for the weary hiker is at the centre. In almost all scenes, tourists can be found in the midst of an imposing mountain backdrop, as in a search picture. The double images on the skys and the court cards are divided diagonally.
