Many old houses and the cobblestones take you back in time. The restaurants offer a varied cuisine. Many small shops offer their goods for sale. Take a look, everyone will find something here and not always just kitsch.

It's wonderful to drive left and right of the Elbe. A single ferry crossing cost 3 euros per person with a bike. Short crossing, the Elbe has a lot of current.

Meißen is a town worth seeing. Unfortunately we left far too late and unfortunately couldn't give ourselves too much time.

We will definitely come back again.

The district town of Radebeul is a popular residential area for the people of Dresden. It's very charming here, …
