    Grab a slice of cake and a coffee at the Italienisches Dörfchen. The baroque pavilion is a stylish spot to warm up before the chill sets in.

    Fürstenzug

    Walk 36 minutes from the Dostojewskij-Denkmal area to the Fürstenzug. Find a quiet spot along the gallery wall. The long, horizontal mural of Saxon rulers comes alive in the low, warm light.

    Fürstenzug

    Watch the sun dip below the horizon toward the WSW. The golden light fades from the porcelain tiles as the sky shifts color.
