The year 2024 was entirely dedicated to the **Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich**, who explored the and captured them in sketches. But even beyond his anniversary year, his presence is always felt in Saxon Switzerland. On this guided tour along the **Caspar David Friedrich Trail** we embark on a journey into the **visual world** of the painter. At the start of the hike, we’ll encounter the painter in an impressive virtual way: The immersive exhibition **“CDFriedrich Inspires”** brings his works to life and sets the mood for the upcoming tour. Afterward, we’ll take time along the way to observe nature, which we can rediscover as motifs in Friedrich’s nature studies and paintings. The hike is 15 kilometers long, takes about 5 to 6 hours, and involves an elevation gain of approximately 370 meters. We’ll take short breaks along the way.
