Christkindl : The Michelin guide review

The hamlet of Christkindl, meaning "Christ child", has an elegant pilgrims' chapel, with a charming tradition.

Letters with enclosed stamped addressed envelopes even receive a reply. In 1999, over 2.2 million letters and cards from all over the world were processed in this post office.
