Somehow, I usually pull out something more colourful and exciting when choosing what to puzzle next, but when I do a traditional image, I almost always enjoy it. I only bought this Alpine landscape because I wanted to try the brand (Pelikan), but it turned out to be a very enjoyable puzzle.

The pieces are thick and only fit where they belong. The cut was fairly tight, and the majority of pieces had two tabs opposite, while a few had a curved side with no tab or hole (very much like Educa, except with better precision). I was expecting the meadow in the foreground to be much harder than it turned out to be. The dandelions helped, I could usually tell which way was up for the piece thanks to them.

There’s no date on the puzzle, but it says “Made in Germany” (not “West Germany”), dating it after reunification in 1990. I think it’s from the 90’s.
