Thanks to @Peter Your tip has now led us to the Rusty Nail landmark. Certainly not for the last time, because here is a wonderful lake landscape for🏄‍♀️ 🚣🏾‍♀️🚴‍♂️🥾.
Yesterday we saw a sophisticated production of the “Threepenny Opera” in Dresden, with Pegida and Perspective for Germany. We were very impressed👍.
