Fun fact: the stunning bell-shaped dome of #Dresden's Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) weighs 12,000 tons. Irrespective of that, it's just glorious to look at 🙂 And there's a great viewing platform for you to conquer! #culturalheartofgermany #visitsaxony

Are you into #Christmas decorations? The Thuringian town of Lauscha is the birthplace of delicate hand-blown glass tree decorations. The first workshop was established in the late 16th century and today, Christmas decorations are still produced in the traditional manner.

Christmas markets are upon us! To get you in the mood, some festive perspectives from #Dresden, #Görlitz and #Leipzig. Images: S. Rose Fotografie

Opening today: #Erfurt's wonderful Christmas market, back after its Covid-induced breaks. And there might be snowy scenes as there's already been a bit of snow in the region. But whatever the weather, the stunning backdrop on the city's Cathedral Square is always a winner!

What a wonderfully colourful affair: Here's the Christmas market in #Jena. We're making an assumption that you don't know Thuringia's second biggest city yet but it's worthwhile exploring - also when not in its lovely festive appearance 🙂

It's not just a favourite in summer: #Thuringia's "mountain railway" in the Thuringian Highlands is a delightful way to explore this beautiful region. Are you ready to get on board 🙂?

Ever heard of "Schwibbogen"? These beautiful decorative candle-holders are made in #Saxony's Ore Mountains, together with many other traditional wooden #Christmas decorations. Quite atmospheric, isn't it 🙂

Are you a fan of the Stollen 🙂? Only original when made in #Dresden by a range of officially approved bakers. From kneading to finished product - it's proper craft and so great to see how the tradition is maintained from generation to generation. Images: Daniel James Clarke
