The poster features a picturesque rendering by Franz Schwetz, showcasing the charming alpine town nestled in the mountains, with a dramatic waterfall cascading through its center. The lush greenery, surrounding forest, and snow-capped peaks add to the scenic beauty captured in this detailed artwork.
