Sommerfrische

This collection of medium-format glass slides from 1961 documents a trip from Munich via Mittenwald to Innsbruck and the surrounding area. In addition to street scenes and landscape shots, the photos feature portraits of neatly dressed travelers, mostly in front of local attractions, but also while swimming in Lake Lanser near Innsbruck. The series provides a vivid picture of the “Sommerfrische” (summer retreat) of the early 1960s.
