October 15, 2022,Familie Hein 🐻 🐻 erobert Görliwood 🏚️⛪🍂🍁🌹🌻🌊🌦️

Görlitz is always worth a trip, the Hein family thought so too 🐻 🐻 and off we went 🚂🚃. The name Görliwood comes from the film industry. The old town, in particular the lower market and the old Karstadt department store, have been the backdrop for some major cinema and television films. A small detour into Polish was also necessary.

City walk through Görlitz. I was pleasantly surprised how a city can present itself so nicely. Very beautiful city center with well-kept blooming islands, small shops and lots of restaurants. It should be particularly emphasized that the city fathers and city mothers did not approve a large shopping paradise on the green field.
I would recommend a visit to the …

There is so much more to see in Görlitz. Today we started with the holy grave. I had previously read that this is an absolute must. I could have done without it. What I found more exciting was the old Nikolai cemetery, some of which had graves that were over 500 years old. Along the Neisse we went through the …
