Leisurely round up the smallest table mountain in Saxon Switzerland. Caspar David Friedrich was already on the move here. His "Wanderer over the Sea of Fog" is probably the best-known painting of German Romanticism. It shows a well-to-do hiker with a frock coat and walking stick standing on a rock in contemplation of a landscape of partly bizarrely shaped mountain peaks rising out of a wafting morning mist. The landscape depicted in the painting is Saxon Switzerland. For Friedrich, who spent most of his life in Dresden, the nearby rocky world was a place of longing, inspiration and refuge in a world that was coming apart at the seams.
