Imagine this in the USA.
Your olympic team wins gold - the next day first class train travel (if you bought a card for 39,99€) is FREE in all of the country.
I am on my way to Salzburg, Austria, right now. Then Frankfurt. For #Tolkien.
Because we can.

To me, that's probably the only thing of interest in this particular superb owl edition. Had a quick look at the ads and they were basically all spectacularly uninspiring.
And that 80s, 90s series inspired ad?
Cringe af, I think, is the technical term.
The Ents, though...
Glorious 😀🌳

‘Well, in the early night we crept down a long ravine into the upper end of the Wizard’s Vale, the Ents with all their rustling Huorns behind. We could not see them, of course, but the whole air was full of creaking.’

Many Olympic maps were designed for visitors, combining practical information with practical information about the games.
