Off into romance ...

The year 2024 was all about the Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich, who explored the Elbe Sandstone Mountains on many hikes and captured them in sketches. But even beyond his anniversary year, he is always present in Saxon Switzerland. With this guided tour along the Caspar David Friedrich Trail we embark on a journey into the pictorial world of the painter.

At the beginning of the hike, we encounter the painter in an impressive virtual way: the immersive exhibition "CDFriedrich inspires" brings his works to life and gets us in the mood for the tour ahead. We then take time to contemplate nature along the way, which we can rediscover as motifs in Friedrich's nature studies and paintings.

The hike is 15 kilometers long, takes around 5 to 6 hours and covers around 370 metres in altitude. There will be short breaks along the way.
