Saxony

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.
