    Additional land routes from Constantinople to Vienna 1821 (March 28): Letter sheet from Rimnik in Valachia to Brasov in Transsylvania, without rastel punches, showing a neat Rothenturm 'SIGILLIUM  SANITATIS' disinfection strike (Meyer page 53, type 3) alongside. An attractive 'local' item from Valachia via the Carpathian mountains to the South of Transsylvania. Illustrated and discussed in 'Die Österreichische Post in der Levante' on page 133.rnNote: As part of the efforts of the Austrian postal administration to establish a stable and reliable postal system for the Balkans and the Levant, additional postal routes beside the Belgrad route were established with the Routenturm pass being one of the most important.
