Hogwarts Express people are charmed and fascinated by trains An ICE may get passengers to their destination at high speed but a ride in a steam train is an emotional experience and one of them has an anniversary coming up The Lössnitzgrundbahn dates back 135 years also fondly known as the ‘Lössnitz Dachshund’ So what is it that makes this train so special We talked to someone well qualified to answer the question: Kay-Torsten Zimmermann is a train driver rail enthusiast and volunteer member of Traditionsbahn Radebeul we can hear the locomotives chugging away in the background and it was what I always wanted to do from a very early age I started out working on the Parkeisenbahnpark in Dresden which also used to be known as the ‘Pioneer Railway’ And then I graduated to being an actual train driver on the Reichsbahn I work on the DB Regio network driving electric and diesel trains in the Dresden area I’ve recently become deputy railway manager here but I still also drive the steam and diesel locomotives The Lössnitzgrundbahn is one of Germany’s few narrow-gauge railways that are still in existence and there is a high concentration of them here in Saxony What makes this line so special is the variety; it goes through changing scenery then Moritzburg with its lakes and finally the approach to Radeburg through undulating landscape So you get a lot of variety over the relatively short distance of 16.5 kilometres there were locomotives that looked a bit like a dachshund while they were on the move They look just the way they did when they belonged to the Königlich Sächsische Staatseisenbahn – the Royal Saxon State Railways – during the period until the end of the First World War with open platforms and coal-fired heating beautiful upholstered seats and even some wooden ones The exertions are of a more physical nature The crew have much more of a connection with each other You have a train driver and a stoker – that’s teamwork You can also clearly sense what the machine is doing The Sächsische Dampfeisenbahngesellschaft is responsible for the regular timetable The train operates daily but with slightly more modern rolling stock: locomotives from the 50s with carriages that were overhauled in the 70s there is our historic train which we use for special trips we send out even older rolling stock from the late 19th and early 20th centuries organising a special outing to commemorate the anniversary of the Lössnitzgrundbahn The season starts every year in February with a service for visitors to the Radeburger Carnival There are monthly trips with different themes and the Karl May Festival in Radebeul with a staged hold-up by bandits and in December there will be a St Nicholas outing There are quite a few railways that I haven’t been on yet I went for a ride on the Rhodope railway in Bulgaria The glorious railway history of the Free State of Saxony is perpetuated in the Dampfbahn-Route Sachsen a rail network and holiday attraction for tourists and locals which links up five narrow-gauge railways operating on a daily basis three other steam-powered heritage railways The Dampfbahn-Route also incorporates the world’s oldest and largest paddle steamer fleet as well as some amazing cable cars Three branches of the Dampfbahn-Route Sachsen with a total length of around 700 kilometres converge on Dresden Wine and drama: Radebeul

a little girl from a wealthy family decided to create the museum in the late 1800s and that her collection was rediscovered and put on display here Inside visitors will find further “lies,” including art installations such as Van Gogh's ear visitors encounter a visual and auditory cacophony from the wide array of light installations which convey a surreal atmosphere and a frenetic energy.  The museum was curated by artist Reinhard Zabka and features much of his own work He initially began creating art in the former German Democratic Republic as a form of protest and met opposition from authorities which the authorities accepted as sufficiently depoliticizing them and thereby creating his signature collage style he opened his workshop to the public as a museum The museum has been in its current location in Radebeul since 2012 A modern-day cabinet of curiosities housed in a 300-year-old inn This oddities museum and folk art environment encourages visitors to play The first

of an Icelandic sculptor Biotronik has announced the expansion of the Fortress reinforced introducer sheath line which is now available in 7- and 8Fr-compatible sizes in the USA and countries that recognise European CE mark approval The Fortress introducer sheaths are intended to provide access and facilitate percutaneous introduction of guidewires catheters and other devices into the femoral popliteal and infrapopliteal arteries while maintaining haemostasis during diagnostic and interventional procedures The sheath is reinforced with a polymer-embedded stainless steel coil to ensure excellent kink and deformation resistance we as interventionalists need the right tools that simplify our workflows and lower risks for patients,” said Torsten Fuß head of Internal and Intensive Care Medicine at the Elblandklinikum Radebeul in Radebeul “The Fortress 7Fr and 8Fr introducer sheath sizes have a very smooth dilator-to-sheath transition reducing friction when going over the bifurcation It is easier to insert compared to other introducers on the market and has excellent pushability in typically challenging access presentations like preoperated and calcified groins.” The new line extension sizes not only preserve the existing benefits of Fortress introducer sheaths but are designed to offer compatibility with 7Fr and 8Fr devices for endovascular procedures including the use of covered stents and atherectomy devices the Fortress introducer sheath is now available in a full size range from 4Fr to 8Fr “The Fortress introducer sheaths have proven a favourite with interventionalists due to their ease of use and excellent kink resistance,” commented Alexander Uhl president Vascular Intervention at Biotronik “The expansion of Fortress introducer sheaths to 7Fr and 8Fr-compatibility allows physicians to use Fortress with a broader range of procedures such as most atherectomy devices and covered stents.” and website in this browser for the next time I comment

manifestations and progression of alcohol use disorder (AUD) are influenced by a number of contextual factors with the current coronavirus pandemic being a significant example This pandemic has profoundly impacted nearly all aspects of human life and has strongly influenced patients suffering from AUD the pandemic has led to a reduction in severity In our own work we have been investigating the negative impact of the pandemic on 45 patients with AUD who were undergoing outpatient treatment including supervised use of disulfiram (Antabuse) A linear trend analysis demonstrated significant alterations in the retention rate over a 3-year period During the pandemic the number of treatment cancellations virtually increased a tendency towards the normalization of patient numbers was observed Our data indicate a high level of vulnerability among patients with severe AUD and highlight a need for the development of alternative The global pandemic of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has had a profound impact on various aspects of human life affecting not only the general population but also previously marginalized or at-risk groups in particular One of the areas severely impacted is alcohol consumption and associated diseases our hypothesis is that patients visited the outpatient clinic less frequently during the lockdown period to continue treatment than before and after the lockdown period In order to investigate the long-term effects of the pandemic we will analyze longitudinal data on patient participation in therapy in three time periods: baseline We examined long-term data from all patients treated with disulfiram (Antabuse) in our outpatient clinic between 2019 and 2022 (n = 45) The baseline period (T1) refers to the last 12 months before the first lockdown in Germany (April 2019 to March 2020) The lockdown period (T2) refers to the lockdown months (April to June 2020 and November 2020 to June 2021) The post-lockdown period (T3) refers to the 12 months after the end of the last lockdown (July 2021 to June 2022) The study encompassed three distinct phases with data collected from the same subjects across these phases The statistical parameters reported in the study are a direct consequence of this dependency To account for this pairwise Wilcoxon tests for dependent samples were conducted to examine differences in the number of patients treated at the outpatient clinic Given that the time periods varied in length the frequency of clinic visits was normalized by adjusting for the number of months in each period The degrees of freedom of the linear trend analysis (df = 33) reflect the total number of months included in the study The primary focus of the analysis was the comparison of models with consistent versus differing slopes to capture trends over time In order to examine group differences with regard to the number of patients treated in the outpatient clinic in the three time periods pairwise Wilcoxon tests for dependent samples were carried out With the acknowledgements that the time periods differ in length the frequency of visits to the outpatient clinic was adjusted for the number of months in the study periods a linear trend analysis was carried out to gain insights into the long-term change in the number of patients treated over the three time periods This study was approved by the ethics committee (reference number BO-EK-188052024) at the Faculty of Medicine at the Technische Universität Dresden All research was performed in accordance with relevant guidelines/regulations and the Declaration of Helsinki Informed consent was obtained from all participants Table 1 shows sociodemographic and clinical parameters of the participants The patient cohort comprises 45 participants The entire patient cohort is of German ethnicity The average age of the patients is 51.57 years (SD = 11.3) Sixty percent (n = 27) of the patients completed vocational training while 13.9 percent patients (n = 6) achieved a university degree the highest level of education attained was completed secondary school the data indicates that 46% (n = 20) of patients were employed A quarter of the patients were retired or permanently disabled (25.6% while another quarter were unemployed (27.9% Information about the current occupational status was missing for 2 patients the patients were distributed as follows: 53.3% (n = 24) were single Among the patients diagnosed with psychiatric comorbidities 62.2% (n = 28) had affective disorders according to ICD-10 (F30-39) 22.2% (n = 10) of the patients had neurotic while 13.3% (n = 6) were diagnosed with personality and behavioral disorders (F60-69 ICD-10) A small percentage of 6.7% (n = 3) presented schizophrenia and 2.2% (n = 1) were diagnosed with behavioral and emotional disorders with onset in childhood and adolescence (F90-98 ICD-10) naltrexone was administered to 46.6% (n = 27) and baclofen to 5.2% (n = 3) of the patients reported not receiving any prior medication for return to alcohol use prevention The average age of first alcohol consumption for the patients was 14.81 years (SD = 2.54) The duration of dependency averaged176.98 months (SD = 106.85) resp The mean daily alcohol consumption before disulfiram (Antabuse) initiation was 280.59 g per day (SD = 157.69) abstinent patients and abstinence violations during the Covid pandemic Linear trend analysis for the number of treated patients during the Covid pandemic Assuming that there were different trends in each of the periods under consideration a second linear regression model was carried out assuming different increases the predictors were the date and threshold values and the dependent variable was still the number of patients treated The fitted regression model was: (Number of treated patients) = 26.97 + 20.26 * (threshold 1) – 33.38 * (threshold 2) – 0.01 * (date) – 0.72 * (threshold 1 * date) – 0.60 * (threshold 2 * date) The overall regression was statistically significant (R2 = 0.934 p < 0.001) and accounted with 93.4% for considerably more of the variability of the dependent variable in the data set and all interaction effects showed a significant influence on the dependent variable (all p < 0.001) The distinctly better fit of the second model shows that a model assuming different trends between the time periods can explain the data considerably better, which supports the claim that during the lockdowns there was a change in the trend with regard to the retention rate of the disulfiram (Antabuse) therapy. These different trends are also visible graphically (Fig. 2) following the end of the lockdown showing that the number of treated patients appears to be slowly returning to pre-lockdown levels once the lockdown ended linear trend analysis revealed that the lockdown period in T2 was accompanied by a pronounced shift in the trend while the number of patients in the program increased again in T3 These changes occurred in close temporal relation with the pandemic restrictions and could therefore suggest that the Covid pandemic and its related restriction might have had an impact on patients with severe AUD We aim to contextualize this potential interpretation within the broader scope of existing research on the relationship between mental health and the consequences of the pandemic We believe that our very close-knit treatment concept with up to three weekly consultations was particularly susceptible to pandemic-related barriers Our sample was characterized by high rates of comorbidities the majority of which were affective disorders These comorbidities might have influenced patients’ capacity to attend healthcare appointments particularly during the stress and uncertainty of the pandemic individuals suffering from depression or anxiety may have experienced heightened trepidation regarding attending medical visits or may have been more adversely affected by the disruptions caused by the pandemic Future studies to examine the interplay between alcohol use disorder and comorbidities in influencing healthcare-seeking behavior particularly during crisis situations such as the Corona Pandemic are necessary The pandemic may have resulted in individuals becoming less willing to seek professional help for health issues. This is an unfortunate development in light of the findings of our secondary study, which indicated that among patients who continued despite the barriers in the disulfiram-assisted program, there was no increase in the number of abstinence violations (Fig. 1) disulfiram-assisted treatment appears to be effective for patients with severe AUD Future studies should conduct detailed investigations of the long-term effects of pandemics on disulfiram (Antabuse) therapy as well as the long-term efficacy of this therapy on preventing reoccurrence This expanded knowledge base would be beneficial for the continuous and consistent treatment of AUD during unforeseen environmental circumstances like pandemics While our results might provide valuable insights the relatively small sample size (n = 45) limits the statistical power and generalizability of the findings the results of the trend analysis should be interpreted with caution until they are validated by larger samples it is not possible to establish causality between the pandemic and reduced retention rate The observed changes may have been also influenced by other factors personal health concerns or societal disruptions but it does not allow for differentiated outcome analyses it should be noted that no standardized assessment of additional outcome criteria While this study provides important insights into the impact of the pandemic on healthcare utilization among patients with severe AUD these limitations suggest the need for further research more diverse samples and include different patient outcome measures to better understand how global health crises affect healthcare access and patient well-being All data generated or analysed during this study are included in this published article (and its Supplementary

that wasn’t enough to stop someone from carrying out a murderous attack.” will boost the success of the far right “because the government is not undertaking enough measures to stop such incidents” He

“It’s close to the bone,” admits the scriptwriter and actor and scared by the topsy-turvyness of the world Radebeul is about to host a threefold celebration of autumn the Herbst- und Weinfest (Autumn Wine Festival) takes place in parallel with the Internationales Wandertheater-Festival (International Itinerant Theatre Festival) The theme chosen for this year’s extravaganza of wine and drama is Jugendträume (Youth Dreams) “The rules of civilised society were suspended,” explains Helmut Raeder “The wild activities that went on in honour of Dionysus were the first manifestation of theatre.” Dionysus (also known as Bacchus) is the god of wine a tolerance of disorder and the anarchic carousing of the ancients a town in Germany’s north-easternmost winegrowing region The normal standards of decorum are put on hold for one weekend every autumn the Radebeulers are celebrating the wine harvest – the sweet young wine known as Federweisser has just been bottled the Autumn Wine Festival has been combined with the International Itinerant Theatre Festival since 1996 The town and its streets are transformed into stages In a wry reference to the city’s professional theatres Raeder says: “The festival is not necessarily aimed at theatre specialists they will see how to reach a wider audience and to move them emotionally and intellectually.” In among all the stalls offering regional specialities The festival in Radebeul regularly attracts 50,000 visitors over the three days copious music and huge improvisational talent delivered by theatrical troupes from all over the world The theme chosen for 2019 is Jugendträume (Youth Dreams) The festival is traditionally opened on Friday by the God of Wine in person the first show of the weekend will feature a cast of actors aged between ten and twelve The Landesbühnen Sachsen theatre workshop will be putting on a production of Ich bin so frei a title with a double meaning: ‘I am so free’ it’s about how to claim your own space between school and home With their performance of Public Viewing the JuWie Dance Company aim to show how we can cure ourselves of mobile phone cramp and social media pressure Meanwhile, Liebe Knall Yoga All is a farewell to self-centeredness The French company Adhok literally leaves ‘The Nest’ – this is the title of their play which gets along completely without words and relates how it feels to leave the parental home Raeder poses the question: “Do you stand on your own two feet do you lift off or do you go under in the storm of life?” Life offers both beauty and adversity By loading the

rate each performance “Our promise is that we will invite the ones you like best to come back next year,” says Raeder who is returning to the festival after being such a crowd pleaser last year with his highly original sense of humour and baffling magic tricks A fair number of traditions have established themselves since the first festival the theatre carousel with Georg Traber and live band “I want to go on a roundabout at least once a year and that’s only possible at the Itinerant Theatre Festival,” says Raeder you have to hold on very tight to your wine glass The grand finale every year would be unthinkable without Richard von Gigantikow The conceptual artist runs the surreal and mysterious Lügenmuseum (‘Museum of Untruths’) in Radebeul He also practises the art of confusion at the Autumn Wine Festival refuse and natural materials – an embodiment of the fleeting nature of art “This will symbolically go up in flames,” says Raeder The festival actually does go up in flames to return even better the following year.” Autumn Wine Festival Radebeul / International Itinerant Theatre Festival27th – 29th September 2019weinfest-radebeul.de The Karl May Festival is celebrated in Radebeul from 31 May to 2 June The "Le-La-La Dancers" of the Canadian Indian tribe Kwakwaka'wakw their tradition and of course about the festival tipis are opened in the Lößnitzgrund in Radebeul and Indian songs sound through the forests For a few days the Wild West comes alive again in Dresden Elbland No wonder: Here in idyllic Radebeul Karl May finally found the inspiration for his adventure novels about the Mescalero Apache Winnetou and Old Shatterhand traditional dances and lots of music from American natives this year’s event will be celebrated from 31 May to 2 June In addition to representatives of the White Mountain Apache Tribe from Arizona the “Le-La-La Dancers” from the Canadian Indian tribe Kwakwaka’wakw will also be there For over 30 years they have kept the traditions and customs of their tribe alive in the Canadian state of British Columbia the Le-La-La Dancers tell us what their origins and attunement mean to them and why the long journey to Radebeul is so special George Taylor is the founder of the “Le-La-La Dancers” He comes from the Kwakwaka’wakw Nation of Vancouver Island and grew up in the Namgis Reserve in Alert Bay He was taught by his father in most areas of his nation’s traditional history and culture George Taylor moved to Victoria in 1976 to become a social worker for several First Nations’ groups the Le-La-La Dancers Society was founded in 1987 George has dedicated himself with much hard work and dedication to developing and leading a traditional performance group The Kwakwaka’wakw (pronounced: KWOK-wok-ya-wokw) have built a rich culture that reflects and recognizes our natural environment dances and ceremonial objects honor the animals salmon and all the things that contribute to the physical and spiritual preservation of the Kwakwaka’wakw Many people believe that a rich and powerful person is someone who owns a lot The Kwak´wala see it differently: a rich and powerful person is someone who gives away the most For a long time the Kwakwaka’wakw have been organizing potlatches Even today this ceremony plays a central and connecting role in community life Guests who participate in this event receive gifts The Potlatch ceremony marks important events in the life of the Kwakwaka’wakw: the naming of children and mourning for the dead. It is a festival that shows all the pride of the tribe: Masks are worn and dances are performed In our culture we dance and sing to celebrate life which tells how it comes from a first ancestor These stories tell of encounters with supernatural beings They show spirituality and bring to life the privileges handed down by our ancestors Most of our costumes are made by us in a traditional way or are handed down by family members over generations Our masks carved talented hands from artists in our family We like the natural setting of the festival in Dresden Elbland Here everything is planned with a lot of heart for detail and the visitors love our culture The opportunity to share something of our traditional culture with people in Germany through dance and singing is unique The people here rarely have the chance to experience how many different kinds of indigenous culture live in North America today This is always an exciting encounter and experience The Karl May Festival has taken place every year since 1992 on the weekend after Ascension Day Further

sign up to the German politics myFT Digest -- delivered directly to your inbox Marseille’s far-right politician Stéphane Ravier feels robbed After winning control of the Northern district of the French Mediterranean town in 2014 — one of the dozen victories emblematic of the National Front’s surge in local elections that year — he targeted a seat in the National Assembly was his to lose: the outgoing Socialist had been convicted of embezzlement But a 34-year-old political novice threw her hat in the ring at the last minute President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist movement came second to Mr Ravier in the first round of voting which saw Mr Macron defeat FN leader Marine Le Pen in May Ms Louis won the seat with a 52 per cent share of the second round vote amid low turnout and a campaign to stop her far-right rival “She applied for the En Marche endorsement on the internet and secured it hours before the registration deadline,” says Mr Ravier “My voters were gutted about losing the presidential elections Mr Ravier’s defeat in Marseille is typical of the impact of Mr Macron’s unlikely political rise on the FN and its blend of national-populism in France the Europhile leader secured a large majority in parliament — triggering a sigh of relief in liberal circles across the EU Months before, nativist parties feeding on fears of multiculturalism globalisation and European integration had seemed to be almost unstoppable European capitals braced themselves for a turbulent electoral year in which populist parties vowing to upend the EU looked set for huge gains First there was Mr Macron’s victory in France the German chancellor who let in more than 1m refugees in 2015-16 There were hopes that the populist wave may have peaked: and that France and Germany would now come together to relegitimise the European project But academics warn that Mr Macron might be the exception More than 11 weeks since the Bundestag poll Ms Merkel has still failed to form a government It is not the most stable of foundations on which to build an effective defence of the EU’s liberal values nativist ideas are continuing to infiltrate mainstream politics throughout Europe “Many have misjudged the French presidential outcome when in reality all the facts are pointing in the other direction,” says Patrick Moreau a Berlin-based researcher at Centre National de Recherche Scientifique He identifies the 2015 refugee crisis as the turning point immigration and its perceived threat to national identity have been key factors to understand shifts in European politics,” adds Mr Moreau Nearly two-thirds of EU citizens believe immigration has a negative impact on their countries according to a survey released last month by Fondapol 52 per cent of Europeans believed immigration was “an economic burden” according to Pew Research Center the rate was 29 per cent — compared with 51 per cent now saying it has a “negative impact” in the Fondapol survey 58 per cent of Europeans now view Islam as a threat They are ambivalent about refugees: two-thirds of those polled say it is a duty to rescue them but 54 per cent say their countries cannot afford to take more of them It is no surprise therefore that in a string of elections this year Nativism is now a generally accepted notion in countries such as the Netherlands and Austria a Dutch political scientist at the University of Georgia in the US “Their leaders have banged on about a ‘nativism-light’ strategy to win,” he says The trend intensified amid the economic decline and austerity policies engendered by the eurozone debt crisis Some wonder if it might recede now that growth has returned to the region and unemployment is falling; this is the reformist Mr Macron’s gamble “Populism doesn’t just feed off economic insecurity but also off cultural clashes,” says Jean Garrigues This tougher line is already beginning to influence broader EU policy The European Commission is under pressure from some member states to ditch its “burden-sharing” system in favour of a voluntary plan and has vowed to beef up border controls The backtracking would herald less solidarity among EU members in other areas: the Netherlands now has a four-party rightwing coalition which has enshrined a tough stance against eurozone integration in its coalition deal “I fear the rise of the nationalistic right which has its roots in the migration crisis will put the brakes on economic reforms too,” says Enrico Letta a former Italian prime minister and head of Institut Delors “The whole notion of EU solidarity is under threat.” Ms Merkel’s decision to keep Germany’s borders open at the height of the refugee crisis and the resulting backlash fuelled the rise of the AfD “Saxons have looked very closely at what has happened in the west of the country and they don’t want to end up like that,” he says in his office in Radebeul leading to “parallel societies” and “no-go” areas for police Even CDU politicians say the government misjudged the mood in the east “People here feel ‘we brought down communism in 1989 we fought for and won our freedom and then these politicians come and say we have to open the border and let in all these refugees’,” Frank Kupfer head of the CDU group in Saxony’s parliament “There is this fear that someone is going to come and take everything away from us again.” is drawing similar conclusions after the stinging defeat of François Fillon but has vowed to “bring back the disappointed voters who voted for the FN” The 42-year-old former EU affairs minister intends to do so via a dose of identity politics and returning to the “true values of the right” He is advocating measures including an end to medical health insurance for undocumented migrants Foreigners must adapt to France,” he has said at party meetings whose popularity has slipped from two-thirds to about 50 per cent since his election They appear increasingly isolated in Europe in their efforts to hold the centre by betting that economic reforms will help address anxiety over immigration one of the 100 former villages that are now part of the city Robberies have increased in this wealthier part of town and Mr Pinatel suspects petty criminals from the nearby Clos La Rose estate one of the deprived immigrant enclaves that make the city and its 1m residents a mosaic of distinct communities It is no secret in Marseille that the police are reluctant to intervene in some estates Ms Louis tells the retiree she is pushing for the constituency to be one of the first to experiment with a new local police force But the measure will not be just for Château-Gombert Ms Louis believes En Marche will uproot the FN by dispelling false ideas about immigration and Islam rather than adopting its rhetoric and better integrating the second or third generations of immigrants Prof Mudde believes it is the best strategy: “The more you talk about immigration and Islam the more important the issues become,” he says But he doubts this will be enough to counter nativism “Macron’s recipe can hardly be exported,” he says Germany and other countries in northern Europe have already carried out similar reforms and are doing better economically than France yet they still have experienced a rise in populism “Nativism is progressing in countries where there’s low unemployment.” the FN politician who is a member of the Senate believes Ms Louis is missing the point: “Even if the results of the legislative elections suggest otherwise “It's as if they believe their knowledge gives them some kind of authority over you or your culture,” he says May's Wild West bears little relation to reality The sense of fantasy endures—and not only about nature most of the visitors aren’t hobbyists the Tucson

especially if it’s your first time,” he says the photographer stopped off at the town of Cottbus where he was most impressed by Branitz Park the site of garden architect Prince Pückler’s earth pyramids Nicknamed “Florence at the Elbe,” Dresden has an undeniable romantic flair thanks to a postcard-perfect location on one of Central Europe’s major rivers “I hadn’t been back to Europe in a couple of years because of the pandemic so being in Dresden was a reminder of how beautiful this part of the world is,” Badal says very pretty.” Nicknamed “Florence at the Elbe,” the city has an undeniable romantic flair thanks to a postcard-perfect location on one of Central Europe’s major rivers you’ll catch flamboyant Baroque architecture and Biergartens thrumming with conviviality Though many of the buildings in Dresden’s Altstadt look like they’ve stood there for centuries Most of the city was effectively flattened during World War II Rather than rebuilding with mid-century architecture Dresden’s finest landmarks and cultural institutions were restored to their original glory Most are within walking distance to one another including The Zwinger Palace (look for Raphael’s famous Sistine Madonna in the Old Masters Gallery) the riverfront Brühlsche Terrasse (tour the Royal Art Academy and the Albertinum Museum) a towering cathedral reconstructed almost entirely with private donations “Being in Saxony is like entering Wes Anderson territory,” says Badal referring to the whimsical director behind acclaimed visually arresting films like The Grand Budapest Hotel “You can see how he has drawn inspiration from beautiful places in and around Dresden.” One of those spots sits just across the river from Old Town in Neustadt Pfund’s Dairy (Pfunds Molkerei) is considered

sprawling Dresdener Heide (an untamed forest on the city’s fringes), Dresden is a dreamland for nature enthusiasts especially those who love getting around on two wheels Badal recalls a joyful morning cycle on the Elberadweg “I always like to get some exercise when I’m traveling,” he adds “so this was an outdoor adventure that presented a whole different side to Dresden: lots of green pastures and bridges.” Before rounding back to the town center Badal stopped for “a simple brat and beer,” at Der Schillergarten a brewery that lies beneath the 19th-century Loschwitz Bridge colloquially referred to by locals as Blaues Wunder (Blue Wonder) “Food tastes even better when you work for it,” he quips Another place to combine culinary and outdoor pursuits is at the Zschonergrund nature reserve just west of the city which is the site of an old watermill and Zschoner Mühle Or just sit back on the historic steamboat cruise to Pillnitz Palace then meander the opulent estate and its gardens at your

one particular pinch-me memory that rises to the top While strolling through the English Garden she stumbled upon a woman playing piano garbed in a tracht (traditional German dress) “Everyone around her paused to listen and it was so beautiful “I was surprised about how much I loved it there but Munich is one of Europe’s greatest treasures.” Munich has a hefty catalog of iconic sites that every first-time visitor should see from the Olympic Park to Nymphenburg Palace and its expansive gardens “The palace grounds were just beautiful,” adds Johnson the Baroque landmark remains one of the continent’s largest royal palaces its interiors decorated with stunning frescoes in Stone Hall the works of court painter Joseph Karl Stieler in the Gallery of Beauties For a more experiential immersion into Bavarian history sign up for a shopping tour with trachtNtour a local company that organizes shopping trips for traditional Dirndl and Lederhosen outfits that you can bring home so it was so cool to learn everything behind the outfits,” says the photographer In Munich, food lovers get the best of both worlds from affordable street food to elevated dining There are seemingly endless options for hearty traditional Bavarian fare (Johnson recommends Xaver's Wursthaus for “freakin’ amazing” sausage and beer a food stall at the Viktualienmarkt located in the city center Thanks to the city’s extremely multicultural makeup you can also get your hands on specialties from all over the world a repurposed ship suspended over a bridge in Southern Munich which serves everything from pizzas to African and Thai dishes But this underground hotspot offers a whole lot more than that “When you go around to the back of the boat there’s a DJ and a dancefloor with day parties happening,” she explains “And it was just a random Sunday night!” Continue soaking up Munich’s quirkier side in Schlachthofviertel a lively industrial warehouse district brimming with eclectic street art After a self-guided tour of the mural-strewn walls a one-of-a-kind Biergarten made from repurposed shipping containers that also doubles as a cultural venue and music club after dark After two days in Munich, Johnson drove 90 minutes to Regensburg “It’s a city that feels particularly old,” she says “I felt like I was transported to a completely different time and place.” Wander the narrow cobblestone streets of Old Town then walk along the banks of the Danube to the 900-year-old Stone Bridge Stop at confectionery Cafe Princez for caffeine and sugar pep then order one of the 6,000 sausages served daily at The Historic Sausage Kitchen of Regensburg the oldest continuously operated restaurant in the world “They rope off a little area of the cobblestone near the old stone bridge so you can enjoy your sausage by the river,” Johnson explains I took a boat down the Danube to Weltenburg Abbey which is also the oldest brewery in the world so that was super cool.” It’s impossible to skimp on the fun that Regensburg offers up from one season to the next Whether you catch an autumn river cruise on the Crystal Fleet or an outing to the world-famous Romantic Christmas Market Regensburg is a hot ticket any time of year It also has the highest concentration of bars in Germany so your next celebratory tipple is never far away Kelsey Johnson’s final day venturing around Bavaria led her to Berchtesgaden National Park and glaciers—a dream come true for nature lovers but Germany has its own idyllic mountain region “This was actually my third time in the park.” Due to limited time on this itinerary Johnson skipped her normal hikes and hopped on a boat tour around crystal-clear Lake Königssee It’s so peaceful too since it never feels crowded,” says Johnson Wondering how much time she suggests you need to explore Berchtesgaden “You could easily spend two days in the park,” says Johnson you’ll probably want to return time and time again All photos below provided by Kelsey Johnson

made no moves to return the items scalping was not practised solely by native Americans but also widespread among European colonists – one of the authors who has helped to popularise the conception of scalping as a native American tradition was Karl May himself The author of the bestselling Winnetou novels didn't visit America until after his literary success but frequently projected the idea that his books were autobiographical the exhibition curator at the Karl May museum said that the exhibits were "part of history" and that "it is important to the museum that history isn't being falsified in our exhibition" He conceded that the museum was "prepared to have a conversation" with descendants Members of the Chippewa tribe say they are considering staging a protest at a festival celebrating Karl May's legacy in Radebeul in May Extreme sports fans have already marked the weekend of 21st - 22nd April in their diary That’s when endurance runners will be competing in the 14th Saxon Mount Everest Stair Marathon (Sächsischer Mount Everest Treppenmarathon) at Radebeul It is one of the toughest events of its kind in the world With idyllic vineyards instead of rugged Himalayan peaks there is no likelihood of anyone mistaking the Spitzhaus steps in Radebeul for Mount Everest Extreme athletes from all over the world nonetheless descend on Saxony every year for a very special ultra-endurance race The runners go up and down the side of the hill 100 times – a grand total of 79 The elevation gain is equivalent to ascending Mount Everest The overall distance of 84.4 kilometres also happens to be the same length as a double marathon It sounds like a challenge for which you either have to be a bit crazy or the type of person who lives their life at the limit the Saxon Mount Everest Stair Marathon has been organised as a 24-hour event So it no longer ends when all the contestants have completed the 100 ‘laps’ Victory goes to the person who has made the most ascents/descents during that time The sheer sense of relief on completing the race is obviously worth all the effort “Around half of the entrants are repeat offenders,” says organiser Ulf Kühne the starting line-up becomes increasingly diverse but also long-distance runners and triathletes are attracted by the challenge in the vineyards 83 solo contestants have already registered for this year there are 25 three-member relay teams who will be doing the 100 laps in stints There are also the so-called ‘tourist teams’ made up of 50 runners each doing one lap The number of contestants has already reached the limit There is a two-way traffic – and the Spitzhaus steps are only just over a metre wide the weather can also severely wear down resilience the one at Radebeul is completely outdoors meaning that contestants are subject to rain Anyone who reaches the virtual summit (around the 100-lap mark) under such gruelling conditions has every right to feel proud of themselves almost half of the solo runners accomplish that and the one who completes the distance in the fastest time wins a special trophy Ulf Kühne has a few tips for anyone intending to make it to the summit lift the winner’s trophy or even set a new record This seasoned athlete has run the stair marathon himself several times and offers the following advice: “If you are serious you should already have started your training at the beginning of the year.” But in the final 14 days before the event Organ builder Dirk Eule and his artistic director were busy working on a project in Russia when they received

once a year Radebeul is transformed into a Wild West town for the Karl May Festival With squealing brakes and pounding pistons A band of outlaws has prepared an ambush for the old steam locomotive on the stretch of track between Little Tombstone and White Horse Camp making the passengers on the train easy prey for the robbers Scenes like these are acted out on the weekend after Ascension – not in the lawless Wild West This is where he lived at Villa Shatterhand and wrote his great adventure novels And it is here that his legacy is commemorated during the annual Karl May Festival The Lössnitzgrundbahn heritage railway doubles as the Santa Fe Express The Weisses Ross halt is temporarily transformed into White Horse Camp. The unruly town of Little Tombstone is recreated at the Lössnitzgrund railway station each of which provides insights into the reality of the 19th century Wild West performers re-enact the daily lives of hunters The use of German as the language of these camps is not without historical justification: by 1860 there were no fewer than 1.3 million emigrants of German extraction living in what is now the United States Fox Home Camp shows the country from a more peaceful perspective whereas Fort Virginia specialises in the military This is where the Virginia Volunteers assemble to represent a German brigade in the American Civil War (1861 – 1865) From the flag ceremony right down to the uniform buttons no effort is spared to achieve authenticity The headline for the 28th Karl May Festival is ‘Winnetou members of the White Mountain Apache Tribe from Arizona will be visiting Radebeul They will give talks about their culture and tell the true stories of their chiefs The exchange with Native Americans is in any case a traditional feature of the festival. Even before the festival gets underway, the Karl May Museum is organising an ‘Indian Week’: Ed E There will be an exhibition entitled IndianerART at the halfway point of the festival as well as fireside discussions of the Winnetou legend Members of the White Mountain Apache Tribe the Kwakwaka’wakw Nation and the Tsimshian Nation will be performing ritual music and ceremonial songs there will be no shortage of fiction and outright fantasy; after all Karl May himself was known for being economic with the facts The Sächsische Landesbühnen ensemble will be staging excerpts from their repertoire a short film will be premiered – Showdown in Fort Henry – featuring members of the Radebeul Western Union By loading the video, you agree to YouTube's privacy policy.Learn more Visitors will not be unduly surprised that the programme of music will be other than 19th century in character Fünf Patronenhülsen and Slow Horses will be putting on frenzied concerts with rock ’n’ roll The festival comes to a climax on Sunday with the Sternritt parade one of the most important traditions of the festival: on their way to Radebeul the Sternreiter try to cover as great a distance as possible The record was set in 2012 when Randy Helbig rode 1,320 kilometres to Radebeul After the horses’ hooves have stirred up the dust the air is filled with smoke again: the trophy for the Sternritt winner each year is a handcrafted peace pipe The Karl May festivities have been held every year since 1992 on the weekend following Ascension Day For more information and tickets,

and ever popular classics Let's talk about Germany's northernmost wine-growing region and its protagonists destitute and culture-free; Sorbian natives and German conquerors were competing with each other so the legend goes – for the cultivation of mass wine A record from 1161 documents the donation of a productive vineyard on the eastern slope of the Meisa Valley to the chapel of St Margrave of Meissen – the official start of viticulture in Saxony In the immensely lovely area of the Elbe between Meissen and Dresden there is hardly a delightful spot that is not linked with Benno’s name Around 850 years later: The growing region is the smallest and most northerly in Germany; for many it is also the most beautiful Saxony’s wine experienced its first heyday before the 30 Years’ War Estimates put the area under vines at around 5,000 hectares the Sächsische Weinbaugenossenschaft (Saxon Winegrowers’ Cooperative) founded Europe’s first winegrowing school in Meissen vine lice destroy the flourishing cultivation large breweries produce ever cheaper beer – the importance of Elbe wine declines It was only after the fall of communism in 1989 that the winegrowing region experienced a renaissance around 35 full-time wineries and more than a thousand hobby winegrowers produce grapes and must therefore be tended and harvested by hand The variety of vines includes around 60 types: Traminer Connoisseurs particularly appreciate well-known sites such as the Goldene Wagen in Radebeul or the Meißner Kapitelberg The latter is considered one of the best terroirs in Saxony due to its soil composition of loose granite weathering slopes that take full advantage of the sun the protected microclimate in the Elbe Valley – this triad makes viticulture possible in the first place so far

“young wild one”; the magazine “Vinum” counts him among “Germany’s next top winemakers” His family has been making wine in Meissen for five generations Strasser completed an apprenticeship at the Schloss Wackerbarth state winery trained as a technician for viticulture and enology and has been continuing the family tradition on over eleven hectares since 2010 the Gault&Millau wine guide awarded
