Guided Story
Do you hear that gentle splash? It's the fountain of the Bathing Women just south of you. If you look to the west, you'll see those majestic old trees swaying in the breeze. They've witnessed countless stories, as Bürgerwiese has been a retreat for Dresden's residents for centuries. In spring, the air is filled with the fragrance of fresh blossoms, and in autumn, the colorful leaves crunch underfoot. Did you know there used to be a small zoo here? Back in the 19th century, this park was a meeting and relaxation spot for city folks, and it still is today. Take a moment to enjoy the tranquility, and you might even spot a squirrel darting between the trees.
