Brand/Publisher: Heiligenblut; Kärnten (Carinthia), Austria.
Item: Original vintage color travel brochure promoting Heiligenblut as a high-altitude health resort and winter sports center in the Austrian Alps, with scenic photographic views of the village, parish church, surrounding mountains, and alpine landscapes.
Front cover design features the cursive title Heiligenblut above the German descriptors HÖHENLUFTKURORT and WINTERSPORTPLATZ with the altitude line 1300 m ü. d. M., printed in white on a blue panel with yellow accent band, over a large winter photograph of the pointed church tower rising above snow-covered roofs and peaks, framed by snow-laden evergreen branches.
The reverse cover presents a contrasting summer view of the same church and village nestled in a green valley with forested slopes, scattered chalets, and a curving road leading toward the town, again bordered by the blue and yellow graphic stripe layout and the KÄRNTEN · AUSTRIA tagline at the bottom.
Interior panels display multiple full-color photographs including glacier and high-mountain scenes, hiking paths through conifer forest, a large alpine hotel complex, cable-lift and ski infrastructure, and pastoral valley roads with travelers, emphasizing both the winter ski area and warm-season hiking and sightseeing opportunities.
Additional images highlight the richly decorated interior of the Heiligenblut parish church with vaulted ceilings, carved gallery, and elaborate altar, as well as traditional alpine houses and farmsteads, underscoring the region's religious, cultural, and rustic village character.
Format and appearance: multi-panel fold-out tourist brochure printed in Austria in full color on both sides on glossy paper, rack-size and suitable for display in information centers, travel agencies, and hotels, now ideal as an example of Carinthian resort and ski tourism ephemera.
Notes: Attractive collectible for enthusiasts of Austrian Alps travel, Kärnten winter sports resorts, Grossglockner region memorabilia, and vintage European tourism brochures.
