Luzern mit Pilatus (Switzerland)
Nice, old view on the front. The reverse is another story: not postally used, heavily aged, some stains and abrasions, and a note that someone visited in July of 1910. That helps date the card, at least. Grade: 4

Mt Chilbo and Ullim Falls (semi-maximum cards) (set of two) (DPR Korea)

Trollstigen (Norway)
Online resource visitnorway dot com (we don’t do links) describes Trollstigen like this: “As one of the most famous National Tourist Routes, Trollstigen (“The Trolls Road”) is a visual feast.

Përshëndetje nga Kosova (Greetings from Kosovo) – mountains
