 Excellent page! I really liked Görlitz but unfortunately the churches were closed by the time we actually had time to visit them. We obviously walked too long in Poland, haha.

 Ingo, I just had to recheck your fabulous page. We have been here on Saturday and really loved it. Especially the Whisper Portal is amazing. The Karstadt is now a Hertie. Afterwards we even went to Zittau for dinner.
