Tour description

About the tour.

A walk through several centuries: the old-town structure, residence, church, leather industry, villa and Kulturhaus are surprisingly close together. Along the way, Old-town lanes, Hirschberg Palace, St Katharina and Tannery Museum come together as a varied walk. Early GDR modernism and a late-Neoclassical factory owner's villa form an unusual finale.
