Meißen
The 1000-year-old town is the historical cradle of Saxony due to its famous buildings built during different epochs of the Holy Roman Empire. The Albrechtsburg Castle is considered to be the earliest example of a residential castle in Germany, while the adjoining cathedral is an impressive jewel of pure Gothic. The famous Meißen porcelain factory presents masterpieces in `white gold´.
State Porcelain Factory Meißen
The first and thus oldest porcelain factory in Europe has been at home in Meißen since 1710. Located immediately alongside the factory itself, the porcelain museum, which comprises demonstration workshops and exhibition rooms, provides an insight into the 291 year history of Meißen porcelain. A wide range of Meißen porcelain articles, such as dinner services, figurines, gift articles, etc., can be bought in the adjacent showrooms.
Albrechtsburg Castle
The fortress, one of Arnold von Westfalen's architectural masterpieces, is classified as the first German castle. It was built in late Gothic style with some Renaissance elements. The manner of construction, including the `draped-arch windows´, was considered modern for that time.
Cathedral
The cathedral, situated on the citadel hill of Meißen, is a pure sacred building of the Mid-Gothic. The construction started in about 1240, the Prince's Chapel was built about 1430. The Prince's Chapel is one of the most famous burial places of the Wettin family.

The Elbe Sandstone Mountains lie in the far Southeast of Germany, only a few kilometers from Dresden, between the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge) and the Lausitz Mountains. They extend from Pirna across the Czech border to Decin in Bohemia. The German part is named Saxon Switzerland. This national park and nature conservation area covers more than 368 square kilometers on both sides of the river Elbe. The river runs peacefully between tremendous mesas and bizarre crags. Excellent marked hiking and cycling trails guide people through the national park. Climbers are welcome all over the park.
