    Hiking

    The Brühlsche Terrasse is a famous riverside promenade in Dresden's Old Town, located directly above the Elbe River.
    It is often referred to as the "Balcony of Europe" because it offers a sweeping view over the river and Dresden's historic skyline. Originally, it was part of the fortifications, but it was redesigned into a representative terrace in the 18th century.
    Today, it is a central walking and viewing spot with many nearby attractions, including the Neumarkt, the Frauenkirche, and various monuments and sculptures.

    I would not recommend walking on Brühl's Terrace because there are so many tourists. It is better to walk below along the banks of the Elbe and also admire the beautiful silhouette of the old town.

    The Brühl Terrace, or Brühl Terrace, is an architectural ensemble and a tourist attraction in Dresden. It is located in the city center in the Old Town and stretches approximately 500 meters along the Elbe River between the Augustus Bridge and the Carola Bridge. The Brühl Terrace is also known as the Balcony of Europe. The term was coined at the beginning of the 19th century and later widely used in literature. (Source: Wikipedia)
