Welcome to Grimma by the Mulde river
Grimma near Leipzig is a little paradise, or, as Goethe and Schiller publisher Georg Joachim Göschen put it in the 18th century, "one of the most beautiful places in the world". Modern day visitors will understand what he was talking about when strolling through Grimma’s charming old town, which is full of architectural highlights, such as the town hall with its striking Renaissance gable, the double-towered Church of Our Lady or medieval residential towers.
The enchanting river valley scenery around Grimma has much to offer, too, including the ruins of Nimbschen Monastery, where Martin Luther's wife Katharina von Bora lived as a nun, or Großbothen where the life and work of Nobel Prize winner for chemistry, Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald, can be explored in the surroundings of a beautiful park.
