September 30, 2023,Ein bisschen Görliwood 😍🚶🏤⛪🌳🌊🌤️

A quick decision and off we went to Görliwood, just enjoy a bit 😍. Unfortunately, many others also came up with the idea, so the train was a bit overcrowded 😱. Nevertheless, a visit to Görlitz is highly recommended, especially in the old town and on the Neisse.

There was no rain on today's walk through the city and the sun rarely made an appearance. We crossed the Neisse Bridge to Poland again because the view of the cathedral from there is very beautiful.
Another highlight was climbing one of the city's four towers.
A number of the city's buildings are still in a desolate state. In some …

Görlitz, Germany's easternmost city, boasts a charming old town with buildings from several eras. There are also some wonderful Wilhelminian-era districts. In contrast to the historic old town, on the other bank of the Neisse River lies the Polish city of Zgorzelec, with its prefabricated buildings.

March 5, 2025,Görlitz und die Minute in Polen

Görlitz, here we come. Good parking near the center. It's just a few steps away. Görlitz is dominated by many wonderfully renovated buildings. But I found the contrast with the empty, boarded-up ruins in the middle of it all particularly fascinating. We had a very nice tour of St. Peter's Church; we'll just see if anyone can guide us. A …

Görlitz is a beautiful town on the Polish border.

The well-preserved old town has many buildings from different eras, really nice to look at.

It is definitely worth walking to the Polish side as well.
