A great tourist card depicting the Baltic Sea (Ostsee). The Baltic Sea borders Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, and Sweden. Kiel is located near the Baltic and is a major shipping port and international sailing events. Olympic sailing competitions were held here in 1936 Berlin Olympics and the 1972 Munich Olympics.
Mölln is a small city of about 20 000 located in northern Germany. The Elbe-Lübeck Canal flows through the town, and there are eight small lakes that surround the city. It was founded in the 12th century and was a part of the Old Salt Route. Salt that was produced in the salt mines of Lower-Saxony was shipped to the Baltic Sea. Till Eulenspiegel, a legendary trickster known for exposing vices and provoking thought, is said to have lived in Mölln the last year of his life. He apparently died of the plague in 1350, but his existence has never been proven. Mölln has several monuments dedicated to him.
