An attractive 'local' item from Valachia via the Carpathian mountains to the South of Transsylvania. Illustrated and discussed in 'Die Österreichische Post in der Levante' on page 133.rnNote: As part of the efforts of the Austrian postal administration to establish a stable and reliable postal system for the Balkans and the Levant, additional postal routes beside the Belgrad route were established with the Routenturm pass being one of the most important.
