Görlitz is always worth a trip, the Hein family thought so too 🐻 🐻 and off we went 🚂🚃. The name Görliwood comes from the film industry. The old town, in particular the lower market and the old Karstadt department store, have been the backdrop for some major cinema and television films. A small detour into Polish was also necessary.
