City Views

View from Reichenbach tower toward East
On my last visit I decided to go up the Reichenbach tower (uff, these steps!). From there you have fantastic panoramic views of the city and the surrounding landscape.

Here the view toward East, overlooking Obermarkt square, Dreifaltigkeitskirche, town hall, St. Peter and Paul church and Nikolai tower, another part of the former fortifications, to the left
View from Reichenbach tower toward South
View from Reichenbach tower toward South. The theatre in the foreground.

With more luck with the weather you can also see the Krkonose mountains right on the border between Poland and Czech Republic.
View from Reichenbach tower toward North
The view from Reichenbach tower toward North shows the Nikolai church in the background and the nice gardens north of Görlitz. Somewhere at the closer end of the woods you can see the Holy grave ... but where?
View from Reichenbach tower toward South
Kaisertrutz in the foreground, the dominating hill "Landeskrone" in the background, with a hotel and great views.

Kaisertrutz again.
View toward Obermarkt square
The former city gate in the Reichenbach tower frames this view toward the Obermarkt square. In the background the tall tower of Dreifaltigkeitskirche.

 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.
