On the way to Dresden we spontaneously decide to visit Radeberg and the Castle of Klippenstein.
The air is clear and the first snow is on the ground.
With every step the leaves crunch under our feet.
A gray heron, standing lonely on a branch in a tree, enjoys the sun's rays.
When we arrive at the castle, the museum attendant welcomes us.
We're the first today and she turns on the lights in the showrooms for us.
Along the timeline embedded in the ground, digital panels take us back into history.
This goes back almost 800 years.
The rooms continue with exhibits from different eras.
Drawers and windows that can be opened with other exhibits are hidden everywhere.
Areas of the benches can be opened. There are nice things for children hidden here.
Up the stairs a special exhibition with paintings by Heidi Rosenkranz.
An artist with a regional connection.
In two other rooms there is an exhibition on 175 years of the Saxon-Silesian Railway.
The sections of the railway are described extensively and illustrated with original postcards.
Downstairs again, we go into the rooms on the history of Radeberg, the dynasties in the castle, the cultural development and that of the region with all sorts of objects from the former industrial production.
At the end we meet Moritz von Sachsen, who already met us in Schmalkalden and the Schmalkaldic League.

Between 1543 and 1546 he had the castle converted into a hunting lodge.
An audio guide can accompany you to various stations through the exhibition and the outdoor area free of charge via your smartphone.
We take almost two hours. But the information enables much more.
A nice museum with an extensive exhibition and lots of information.
Admission currently costs 4 euros.
