"Meissen - home of porcelaine and "Fummel"" Meißen by tini58de


Meißen Travel Guide: 96 reviews and 403 photos

While visiting Dresden, we went on a day trip to Meissen, which is close by.

All I knew was, that there is this world famous Meissen porcelaine/china manufacture - I didn't know, that Meissen is a wonderful medieval town in a wonderful landscape.

Truly a travel destination to recommend!

    Fascinating see the birthplace of the crossed swords porcelain. It looks delightful. Didn't Steinbeck once write a book about the place? 'Of Meissen Men'?!

    Great page! Meissen looks like a beautiful town! Good story about the bread! I hope the floods haven't damaged this place too much :-(
