Saxony - A Land and It's People
Everything that we have yet not seen
wakes our expectations. In our minds arise pictures of how
something might be. A unique cultural landscape exists in
the very heart of Europe. For Saxony's 1000-year old history
has always been characterized by the juxtaposition of
nature, untouched by human hand. In this way landscapes were
created that are as individual as the people who shaped
them. |

Jewels of Saxony- Charming Cities and
Towns
"....even if you can breathe in history
everywhere in Saxony, and even if culture extends from the
courtly Baroque to traditional folk crafts, it is the towns
and cities of Saxony that are without equal. It is not only
the architectural glory of Dresden and the musical flair of
Leipzig that are so inviting but also the varying and
typical charms of many other towns....you will begin to
understand why Saxony is Such An Experience of Germany." |

Land of Music - Musical Landscape
Musical events in Saxony are of great
authenticity, combining art with architecture and landscape
in a unique way. Listening to Bach's Christmas Oratorio at
the Thomaskirche church in Leipzig, you absorb the music in
the place where it was first performed. A Baroque concert in
the Dresden Zwinger takes place on the festival ground of
the Saxon electors and kings. Listening to a choral concert
in a quarry in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, you stand on
the material of which the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin was
built. |

New Splendor within Old Walls – Castles and Gardens of Saxony
People of Saxony were ruled by the same family for more than
eight centuries. In their turn, the art loving margraves, dukes,
electors and kings from the Wettin dynasty invited first-class architects
and artists to stay permanently at their court. They transformed their kingdom
into what is today – the most beautiful State in Germany for culture-loving visitors.
It is because wealth coincided with a love of the arts that the Saxon rulers’ desire
to build was fulfilled so splendidly in the medieval, Renaissance and Baroque eras.
The time is ripe for a journey full of experiences into the land of medieval castles,
stately homes and gardens. |
