Saxony - the German State (Bundesland) is one of the regions in Europe with outstanding architectural, cultural, natural sights. It is located in the far East of Germany, for decades in the 20th century part of "Eastern Europe", which meant suffering from the cold war and communism; without access to the rest of the world.
Things have dramatically changed since the fall of the wall 1989. Saxony is again part of the re-united Germany and a continent where peoples get together, looking forward to the future.

Great page. I'm planning a three-day trip to Saxony soon, but I'm afraid I won't manage to see even half the places mentioned here.
Ah, so many beautiful places in Saxony ! It is good that a lot of restoration has been done to preserve these gems :-) Lot of inspiration here, thank you :-)
Great page, Ingo! I love the pictures, particularly of the mediaeval castles and the Romanesque cathedral. I'm crazy about any structure THIS OLD, must vist Saxony some day.
good tips
A lot of excellent tips and pics ! - I see I have to come back to Saxony to explore more of it !! The pulpit in Freiberg is really very special !
Hi Ingo, hope you are having a good summer. Lots of interesting tips on places in Sachsen that I haven't seen yet. Hope to remedy that before too long…
Great page with a lot of good suggestions! I am more and more convinced to visit this beautiful area of my neighbours :-)
Excellent start!
Saxony is underrated, thanks for bringing back some fond memories of my time there.
Excellent start, Ingo. Great view over the Elbe Valley.
