Konrad Mägi left Italy in the middle of August 1922. By the end of August, he had reached Oberstdorf, where he stayed for about a month. “What a contrast between Italy and this country,” he wrote from there. “Here, I recall my last days in Venice like a fantastic dream. Thanks to this contrast I now truly grasp what Italy is about.” This is practically the only sign we have of Mägi having stayed in Oberstdorf. His student and biographer Rudolf Paris claims that Mägi went to Oberstdorf to improve his health: the region is famous for its sanatoria and fresh mountain air flowing down from the Alps, and Mägi, who among other things complained about ill health, may indeed have been there to recuperate. On one of the postcards his address is the posh and expensive Hotel Panorama: he may have had enough money at the time to improve his health in a luxury resort.
