Serie "Post" - Winterferien in Deutschland

As in previous years, the stamps that appear in the series "Post", present universal themes that fit various events. The theme of the current issue is "holidays in Germany," and thus addresses one time in which are known to be very many letters and postcards written.

Well, maybe there is not too much to write about this stamp. It´s a winter scenery. Here in Germany a very popular sport is skiing. There are numerous ski resorts. So far I have visited Winklmoosalm, that is partially in Austria (http://www.winklmoosalm.de/) and I must tell it´s a wonderful feeling to be on the top of the mountains.

In the end I would like to give you some Vocabulary related to Winter:

schneien - to snow
Es schneit. - It´s snowing
rutschig - slippery
Es ist rutschig - It is slippery
Es ist sehr kalt - It´s very cold.
