from Benrath Castle). Exotic bushes and 200-year-old tree groups give the park the character which makes it one of a kind in Europe. Themed and patterned gardens at the entrance alternate with avenues and shady woodland paths. Every year in spring the »Castle Spring« brings thousands of plant enthusiasts, gar-den lovers, lifestyle fans and families into the park of Dyck Castle. At Easter the flower and garden stalls are complemented by an Easter market. We also recommend a castle tour.

With its 12 dams and lakes, the Bergisch region has more dams than any other region of Europe and is a paradise for hikers, cyclists and nature lovers. Small villages with timber-framed and slate-fronted houses are dotted around the idyllic landscape.A prominent sight is the cathedral Altenber-ger Dom. It dates back to the 13th century and is used by both catholic and protestant worshippers. The west window, depicting the heavenly Jerusalem, is the biggest church window north of the Alps. Famous for church music the cathedral hosts over 100 concerts per year. (cathedral tour recommended)

Famous sights such as the Zwinger, the church Frauenkirche, Brühlsche Terrassen, the Grüne Gewölbe (Green Vault) and the impressive Dresden Castle are the sights you should not miss. Of course there is also the Baroque Castle Moritzburg with its big castle park, lakes, canals and gardens. You should definitely make time to see the national park Sächsische Schweiz (Saxon Switzerland)!Lovers of music and culture are drawn to Leipzig. Famous destinations are among others the Bach museum, Old Town hall, Churches Nikolaikirche and Thomaskirche,

Trips to Dresden and Leipzig the Monument to the Battle of Nations (Völ-kerschlachtdenkmal Leipzig) and the Grassi museum. Also well worth a visit are the Pano-meter Leipzig (360° panorama) and Leipzig Zoo.There are many typical food specialities in these cities. As well as Baumkuchen (tree cake) and during Christmas the original Dresden Stollen (fruit cake) there are also the Leipziger Allerlei (vegetable mix with crayfish) and Leipziger Lerchen (mini tarts filled with marzipan).

UNESCO world heritage site Montanregion Erzgebirge/ Krušnoho�í In July 2019 the German-Czech Montanregi-

on Erzgebirge/ Krušnoho�í (Ore Mountains) became part of the UNESCO world heritage. Get to know the beautiful region with 17 sites on the German side and 5 sites on the Czech side. Together they show a cultural landscape characterised by mining. Visit:

� Oelsnitz/Erzgebirge � Mining area Annaberg � Mining area Freiberg � Historic old town of Marienberg

The picked monuments, natural and cultu-ral landscapes together epitomise the most important mining areas and eras of Saxon-Bohemian ore mining. Every site consists of different single objects or landscapes, of these there are about 400 in Saxony.
