Christmas Post Office Christkindl Stamps Only Until New Year's Eve
Due to the traditionally lower number of visitors in January, stamping will not continue until Epiphany this year, but only until New Year's Eve and then once more on January 6.
As in previous years, the special post office will again be set up on the terrace of the Hotel-Restaurant Christkindl. Since 1950, Christmas letters and cards from all over the world have been stamped with a special postmark and forwarded in the pilgrimage site in Steyr. Around 1.5 million mail items are processed each year, along with thousands of children's letters with wishes to the Christ Child - including a reply. Philatelists can look forward to four new special stamps, including one commemorating the 300th anniversary of the consecration of the pilgrimage church Christkindl.
