3rd Saxon State Exhibition
Görlitz, situated about 100 km away from Dresden, is the host of the 3rd Saxon State Exhibition which takes place until the end of October. Place of venue is the Kaisertrutz, a round cannon bastion from the 15th century.
The theme is ‚Via Regia‘ (Latin for King’s street) which had already existed 800 ago as an important trading route between the river Rhine and Silesia. In 2005, the Council of Europe designated the Via Regia as a European Cultural Route. The exhibition focuses on life on and around the street, the people and the trade between Frankfurt/ Main and Krakow.
Görlitz itself became one of the most important trading cities on the road. It is the most easterly city in Germany and its old town impresses with medieval market places as well as restored and richly ornated townhouses.
The exhibition is open daily from 10 AM-6 PM (Fridays until 9 PM). The entrance fee is 9/ 7€. See for more information: www.landesausstellung-viaregia.museum
