Saxony is renowned across Germany for Meissen porcelain, first produced in the town of Meissen in 1710. The state stretches from the Ore Mountains on the Czech border to the Elbe valley, whose banks include Dresden, Saxony’s capital. Dresden’s reconstructed Frauenkirche and the baroque Zwinger reflect its role as a historic court city, while Leipzig has long been associated with trade fairs and Johann Sebastian Bach, who worked at St Thomas Church. East of Dresden, the Elbe Sandstone Mountains create the striking rock country of Saxon Switzerland. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Saxony.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany.
