Christmas markets are exist in almost every city. If you have seen some, but we know them all - always the same food and mulled wine stands, hardly something new or original. And at each corner of the commercial meaning of Christmas is clear. Some years ago I was with friends at the Nuremberg Christmas Market and at that time was more than positively surprised that it really is still a traditional Christmas market in Germany.
Some time ago I told my dear, that the Striezelmarkt is known as beautiful as well as traditional Christmas market. Therefore, our decision was very quickly established to drive this year to Dresden and to attend the Christmas fuss. Already on our ride to the southeast was the wintry weather and the snow more and more and enhanced the festive feeling many times.
arrived in Dresden, we fought our way through the snow storm that began the hotel to start from there for a little breather in the direction of Dresden's Old Town. Even before the Christmas market, we encountered the first snow-covered booths and treated ourselves to a first roll with grilled Norwegian salmon and a cup Glöger. The Glöger warming us from within, therefore, since the winter of minus 8 degrees outside, with its heavily clogged
, the actual market exceeded all my expectations -. Many artisanal booths and stalls, a bakery and a tunnel Gnome House. Now and then we enjoyed a hot drink, such as white chocolate or Bioglühwein strolled from stall to stall and saw the bakers to the tunnel baking. Now and then we met singing jesters and blacksmiths, who presented their art to the public. Food and soft drinks provided Rahmbrote as well as raisins and marzipan stollen.
After a few hours at the Christmas market, we spent the rest of the evening in the field Castles Family House, a brewery. D as listed engine house yet received the last remaining building is the former "stock brewery to Feldschlößchen", which was founded in 1858. We warmed our cold bones with a Schwammespaltensuppe and a Saxon potato soup, before there were on the way to the hotel a fresh snowball fight.
After breakfast I was invited by my treasure to the Dresden Aktiv Nature. There are the famous vistas of Dresden painter Bernardo Bellotto, called Canaletto, who have the Berlin artist Yadegar Asisi to its 360-degree panorama inspired the same city. And so we could make a fascinating visual journey through time - to Dresden into the middle of a sunny day in August of 1756. The impressive in a gasometer 3D on a 2D canvas representing experience I can recommend each visitor only Dresden.
We fought our way back through the winter in the old town of Dresden, the Frauenkirche in Dresden to visit. Much described in legend, known throughout the world. They already called a "defiant", the "St. Peter's Protestant" or "Seer". Not for nothing is in front of her Martin Luther - as a monument to commemorate the time of the Reformation. The Frauenkirche is a symbol of local history, visible center of Dresden and at the same time signs of bourgeois culture of the former royal residence and today's state capital.
The climb to the 95 meter tall bell tower and was followed by a beautiful view over Dresden, the old and new towns in cold winter temperatures. For the descent we took the elevator and our path led us next to the Brühl's Terrace. This is an architectural ensemble, and a tourist attraction in Dresden. It is located in the city center in the old town and spans about 500 meters along the Elbe between the Augustus Bridge and Carola bridge. Brühl Terrace is also known as the balcony of Europe. The entry into or onto the patio turned out to be due the icy stairs and following the snow a bit difficult but not impossible.
for lunch gabs a goose with red cabbage and dumplings before we hiked the last time on the Striezelmarkt. We were of course also other 3 caches, which were to be found quite easily. After buying some souvenirs, we went back by train to Berlin. For a wonderful trip was with my sweetheart to the end and the visit of the Striezelmarkt is certainly a long time in happy memories.
