Land Sachsen Travel Guide: 4,024 reviews and 12,422 photos

Saxony is located on the south eastern corner of Germany bordering Czech Republic and Poland. A land of beautiful diverse scenery - some have called it little Switzerland. Our last day in a short trip to Saxony was spent here one June day with the pleasant company of Richie and Doreen - they seemd to know all the high spots to take us to!

Dippoldiswalde - the smallest civic town in Saxony was on our itineary. Not only a charming untouristic town but the venue for local girl Doreen's wedding to Richiecdisc. Several VTer's were in town for the event and we hasd an amazing day with them here and at a castle reception - in a beer cave of course, what else for Richie!
Pictures here are Vt'ers at Richie and Doreen's Specail Wedding Day :
