Since I'm not allowed to do any sports for ten days 😱, I went to the Pillnitz Castle Park today - to see camellia 🌺. In addition, the Orangery 🍊 was open this weekend.

The crocus meadows are already looking great and there is still snow in shady spots in the park. Look …

While the Großsedlitz Baroque Garden was not very busy this morning, even more visitors walked in the Pillnitz Palace Park at lunchtime to the outside staircase, to the camellia, to the ring racing carousel, to the palm house, and through the entire park.
But things got lost again.
The water palace is being built on the side of the Elbe, …

December 5, 2024,Dresden-Pillnitz: Weihnachts-Illumination mit S

Well... The Christmas story with a "sweet" baby Jesus projected onto the greenhouse in Japanese comic style was particularly hideous. At least there was a discount for senior citizens.
