4.5Market Square (Markt)(813 reviews) - A wonderful area! Points of Interest & Landmarks
If you're planning to visit Leipzig, you must pay a visit to the Market Square. Cultural events with no admission fee take place here quite often - I myself was lucky enough to have been able to attend one (,,Bachfest", to be precise) and I had a wonderful time. Furthermore, there are plenty of architectural gems, as well as great stores (such as the 5-storey department store Breuninger).See more..

4.5Panometer(683 reviews) - Breathtaking experience. Friday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks
Located on the premises of the Leipziger Stadtwerke, the Panometer Leipzig originally was used to store city gas. In 2003 the Berlin artist Yadegar Asisi started its remodelling with displaying unique and monumental 360° panoramas in the former gasometer. The Panometer’s overall artistic concept is a combination of the accompanying exhibition, introducing to the current topic, and the 32 m high and more than 100 m wide panorama, that is staged through the simulation of night and day by light and sound. Standing on the 15 m high platform in the middle of the monumental picture you can thus experience the perfect illusion of immerging into a distant country or an elapsed period of time. Over the past years, the Panometer Leipzig already took its visitors to the foot of Mount Everest, into the life of ancient Rome, to the beauty of the tropical rain forest, through the confusions of the Battle of the Nations in Leipzig and into the astounding underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef. Further panoramas are planned for the future and will be presented in the frame work of a world premiere in Leipzig. Besides the visitation of the impressive panorama and the tour through the accompanying exhibition, the visitors can witness the creation of the world’s largest panorama pictures by watching the making-of film at the end of the exhibition. After the visit, the Panometer-Cafe invites the guests to relax with a cup of coffee and a piece of cake. CURRENT PANORAMA-EXHIBITION: since January 28th 2017 all-the-year "TITANIC - The Promise of Modernity"See more..
4.5Panorama Tower(672 reviews) - Excellent view Friday: 11:00 AM - 1:00 AM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Observation Decks & Towers
This is the tallest building in Leipzig and has a great panoramic view of the city. The entrance was only 4€ at a turnstile once you got to the top. The observation deck is outdoors and very windy, with signs showing the locations of various buildings and landmarks. There is also a small kiosk which was closed. I visited in the morning and was the only person on the roof, which was an incredible experience.See more..
4.5Neumarkt(559 reviews) - Beautiful Dresden Points of Interest & Landmarks
Dresden is a beautiful city and strolling across Neumarkt, taking in the main buildings (Zwinger, Frauenkirche, etc.) is a must do. Especially on a nice day (weather-wise) this is a perfect activity. Absolutely recommendable and plenty of lunch/dinner spots around.See more..
The Old Market Square is one of the best squares in Dresden and seems to be have stalls perennially set up with stalls. At least, it was the whole time I was in Dresden. Fun place for festivities with lots and lots of food, drink and gift stalls, plus a few mini fairground type activities for the little ones. There’s also lots of shops around the square, most hidden by the stalls in the square, but they are there. Also on the square is one of the best known buildings in Dresden, the Church of the Holy Cross.See more..
Beautiful palace! We went by car and the parking was around 3 euro for 2 hours but we did not need that much time because we did not go inside the castle. The best pictures can be taken however from outside of the island where the castle is located because then you can have the water on the photo too. My last photo was taken from the parking lot a bit further away from the castle. Nice activity on a sunny day. But don't expect much, I think one hour is okay.See more..
4.5Theaterplatz(395 reviews) - What a historical square! Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Historic Walking Areas

4.5Schlossplatz(263 reviews) - What a gem of a square! Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks
Schlossplatz is also called the Palace or Castle Square of Dresden. It takes no rocket scientist to figure out that this is the square that faces the royal palace. This palace had been the ruling center of Saxony for over 400 years and this square is still used for political activities these days. Buildings like the Hofkirche, Standehaus and Georgentor surround this square. You can see the Napolean Stone and Monuments of King Albert and Friedrich August in Schlossplatz. This 15th century square and the buildings around it were mostly detroyed by the allied bombings of WWII and had to be restored. The square has great charm and character. It is best viewed at night.See more..

4.0Muehle Schmilka(92 reviews) - Great find Friday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks
Tradition erleben – Mühlenromantik genießen: Hier wird noch im traditionellen, altdeutschen Holzbackofen gebacken – wie es einst der Müller Hänsel vor 350 Jahren schon tat! Das Mühlrad in Schmilka aus dem Jahr 1665 dreht gemächlich seine Runden. Bestes Öko-Korn, zu feinem Mehl vermahlen, wird anschließend zu knusprig-frischem Brot, Brötchen und Kuchen - so groß wie Wagenräder gebacken. Alljährlich ab November ist hier auch der schmackhafte Bio-Rosinen-, Mandel- und Mohnstollen erhältlich. Wandern Sie auf dem Malerweg direkt zur Mühle und schauen Sie zu, wie der Bäckermeister abmisst, rührt, knetet und den Ofen anheizt. Gleich nebenan befinden sich der Gasthof Zur Mühle mit lauschigem Biergarten, Ausschank und gemütlicher Mühlenstube sowie die Bio-Braumanufaktur Schmilka.See more..
4.5Burg Stolpen(90 reviews) - Wonderful discovery Friday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks
We dumbed on to this fabulous fortress and it was an absolute favorite part of our trip. There were very few people here. We had the place almost to ourselves. We loved exploring every nook and cranny and learning about poor Countess Vin Cosel. The day was absolutely perfect! See more..
4.5Kuhstall(86 reviews) - Great arch, but don't take the tram. Points of Interest & Landmarks • Caverns & Caves
We really quite liked this walk. I went all the way up with a 30 pounder on my neck/shoulders and it was still quite doable. Relatively easy walk and well maintained. On top there are several vantage points with really nice views. The cow shed itself is impressive and the chairs to the top are a nice touch. I'd advice against taking the tram to the waterfall, it's slow and not worth the money. Better off taking the bus really. See more..
No town around, just a couple of parking lots around. Many good views and points to see the bridge, probably an hour will do there.See more..
4.5Dom St. Marien(68 reviews) - Massive Dom of Freiberg Friday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Churches & Cathedrals
The Freiberg Cathedral is one of the sublimest hall churches in Saxony and is one of the cultural centers of Freiberg. It is widely known for the Golden Arch, both of the organs built by Gottfried Silbermann, the miners’ and the tulip pulpit and for much more. The connection of the Funeral Chapel of the Electoral Family and the gothic cloister, notable for its collection of Epitaphs and sepulchral monuments of the family “von Schönberg”, is an architectonic ensemble of world class. Exceptional pieces of art from eight centuries allure ten thousands of visitors annually to attend the Freiberg Cathedral to watch or to listen to various concerts.

4.5Bautzener Rathaus(45 reviews) - The Hidden Truth: A Lovely City not Known by Tourists Points of Interest & Landmarks
When we finally found a parking place in town, we were facing the gorgeous yellow Rathaus. There were numerous beautiful edifices around us, but nothing compared to the attractive Rathaus. I noticed it had two clocks. I guess if one is non-functional, people can rely on the other one. I couldn't help but take numerous pictures of this beautiful edifice. As we continued exploring the old city, we were mesmerized by the beauty of its medieval settings. It was so beautiful! I wondered why there weren't many tourists. I guess no one knows about it, but at least we enjoyed this gem!See more..
5.0Barbarine am Pfaffenstein(44 reviews) - Get Butterflies in the pit of your stomach Points of Interest & Landmarks
Hiking up onto the Pfaffenstein to see the Barbarine can be quite the adventure depending on the route you take. For the less agile or more timid, I recommend the 'Bequemer Weg'. Slightly more strenuous and interesting is the Klamm. If you come up from the other side be prepared for more than stairs. You will definitely need to hold on with both hands as you climb up the rock on steel ladders. Once at the top, you can have a fine meal and beverage at the restaurant. Climb the tower and find yourself holding on to a thi railing on a narrow balcony. This is a taste for what to expect when you head over to the Barbarine, the most famous rock in the national park. Hang on to your kids as the ledges are not secured to modern standards. The views are staggering, but so is the pucker factor.See more..
5.0Schrammsteine(43 reviews) - Must visit, geological rockstars Points of Interest & Landmarks
Amazing hike with a well maintained path, and a viewing point that exceeded our expectations. The Schrammsteine are really amazing to view, they're huge and on the viewing point you got an amazing overview of the area. The hike is quite easy, we did it with a toddler on our back. See more..

Here you will find unique wood sculptures carved with a chainsaw by the masters of their trade from all over the world. A snack bar is open daily from April to October.See more..
This is an interesting looking tower. The construction began in 1490. It survived several sieges and fires. In 1747 it was observed that the tower was leaning. It was not until 1953/54 that the inclination movement could be stopped by fastening the foundation. The tower still deviates from the vertical by 1.44 m at its top. Great photos of the tower can be taken from the street leading from the Market Sq.See more..

4.5Krabat-Mühle Schwarzkollm(31 reviews) - Nice but little athmosphere Spent 2-3 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks
if you are a fan of Krabat, the movie or the book, we do hope you will not be too disappointed when visiting the Black Mill. It has not much to do with the mill from the movie. The way that leads from Schwarzkollm to the mill is nicely decorated with stones and ravens. The mill itself caters to mass events rather than to individual visits. we planned to stay there much longer, but had seen everything in under an hour.See more..
4.5Biblisches Haus(29 reviews) - The Bible House tells stories Points of Interest & Landmarks
This 16th century home has sand stone reliefs that tell stories from the Old and New Testaments.

The bottom row has The Creation, The Fall, the sacrifice of Isaac, the Ten Commandment, and Moses banishing the serpents. The house is beautiful and on a lovely street. Since the cost is zero, you've got nothing to lose.See more..
Ein Museum zum Anfassen! Wir bekamen einen wunderbaren Rundgang durch das Haus. Die anderthalb Stunden vergingen wie im Flug. Alle Räume wurden gezeigt und Geschichten zur Familie und zum Haus erzählt. Der Mitarbeiter machte das mit etwas Humor und voller Leidenschaft für das Haus! Die 10€ sind gerechtfertigt, schon deshalb, weil die Stiftung, die das Haus unterhält, sich größtenteils von Spenden trägt. Es gibt aber auch einen Audioguide für 7€ oder man verzichtet auf die Informationen und besichtigt das Haus und den Garten auf eigene Faust.
Wir kommen definitiv wieder. Und dann über Nacht! Denn auch das ist möglich!
Für mich persönlich eine der Top-Attraktionen in der Oberlausitz!See more..
