Location, Location
Bärnsdorf is a traditional German
village. It's located in the countryside ten miles from Dresden,
the capital of Saxony. Bärnsdorf and the nearby villages of
Berbisdorf, Moritzburg, and Radeburg offer a wide range of leisure activities
including hiking, swimming, horse-back riding, biking, and bowling.
Classes will be held on the premises of the Gasthof Bärnsdorf, a restaurant
well-known for traditional food and community gatherings.
Dresden, Capital of Saxony
Nearby, Dresden offers exquisite baroque
buildings and cultural treasures: the famous Dresden Semperoper (opera
house), Zwinger, Hofkirche, and Brühlsche Terrace all line the Elbe
river. The expansive art museums and high quality of works in art
and architecture means Dresden truly earns the nickname, "The Florence
of the North". |
