Favorite city Dresden
Follow the most famous artist of German Romanticism. The painter drew inspiration for his pictures on his wanderings through Saxony. His main place of work was Dresden.
He is one of the most important artists of 19th century German Romanticism. Liked thousands of times on Instagram and the like, his pictures of longing trigger something very special in us 250 years later. They touch our souls and tell of the fateful connection between man and nature. And of the fateful life of Caspar David Friedrich. He spent most of his life in Dresden. Caspar David Friedrich was a convinced slow traveler - he just didn't know it yet. When the famous painter traveled, he walked at a leisurely pace, always wearing the same grey travel coat and stopping frequently to make his sketches. Carriage rides were already too fast for him. He did not want to let impressions pass by fleetingly, but to absorb them in a lasting way. Traveling in his footsteps satisfies our longing for deceleration. The valley along the Elbe between the Elbland and Dresden to Saxon Switzerland offers an incomparable opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the Romantic artist. Like Caspar David Friedrich, visitors should not only pay attention to "what they see before them, but also what they see within them". A journey with leisure. It is fascinating how easy it is to lose yourself in Caspar David Friedrich's world on walks, hikes and bike rides.
