Meißen
Street in Meissen
February 14, 2005
Today we woke early and got a train to Meißen, home of the world’s first porcelain
factory. The town did little more than reinforce a stereotype I have of a picturesque
German village. It is well preserved and beautiful, especially in the fresh snow,
which gave us the feeling of being in an untouched and isolated village... or a
giant snow globe.
The castle hill, Albrechtsburg had a church, palace, and a couple streets, nice
and the provider of great views through the snowy sky. The city as a whole looked
like the German stereotype: narrow windy cobble-stoned streets and great buildings.
