Postcard from Slovakia

                SK-32102

The Apollo Bridge connects the city parts Petrzalka, Mlynske Nivy and Ruzinov. Its most characteristic element is the curve, which is 36 meters high. The construction was installed at the left bank of the Danube river and was turned around by cranes and ships. Another reason, why the Apollo Bridge is so unique, is the fact that none of the individual construction parts create a right angle.

Postcard from Germany

The boat lift Magdeburg - Rothensee connects the Mitteland Canal with the river Elbe. It was constructed in 1939 with a lifting height of 18,4 meter and pool size of 85 meter x 12 meter. This 1988 East German maximum card was sent by my best correspondent friend Erhard Molbitz from Postdam, using great German wildlife stamps.
