Today our motivation was somehow no longer there, but we didn't want to just sit on the couch either... That's why we took a stroll through Meissen... 😌

Today we took a short walk through the old town of Meißen. The many small alleys and shops give the city a very special charm.
A visit to the Meißen Porcelain Manufactory is definitely worthwhile – there you get a good impression of why the porcelain and the figures are so valuable.

After the grandchildren's vacation, we first had to recover and spent the days in Meissen.
I simply packed the various city walks - incorrectly - into 1 Komoot tour.
Meissen is definitely worth a trip - I haven't been to this lovely city since my studies in Dresden. A lot of local gastronomy, of course we were in the 100 …

City trip to Meissen. The Albrechtsburg with cathedral, a guided hike into the old town and a visit to the porcelain factory were our daily program. That was an interesting day.

As the changeable weather continues to follow us, we decided to take a trip to Meissen. In addition to the cathedral and the Augustusburg, there are many historical buildings - some of which are in very poor condition. However, we decided not to take the tour of the Meissen porcelain factory, which cost 40 euros per person.
