If you don't speak German:
Monday to Sunday from 9.00h to 17.00h (last possible entrance 16.00h).
Each first weekend in a month there are guided tours through the museum.
Have fun!
Take a boat trip on the river Elbe, starting from the Brühl´sche Terasse just in the center of the old town. There is a guide who tells you stories about the buildings you see along the way, and you can sit and enjoy the sunshine...
The so-called Pyramiden are a tradition form the Erzgebirge / Ore Mountains, where farmers and miners made woodcarvings to earn a little extra money. The pyramid consists of a triangular frame and a mobile interior part that turns round the central axis. The propeller on top moves it because of the hot air that rises from the candles. By turning the wings of the propeller steeper or lower, you can influence the speed.
My pyramid, which I got at the Striezelmarkt in Dresden in 2004, is a smaller model. It needs special pyramid candles of about 6 cm length. Larger pyramids have 2 or even 3 storeys.
Mine shows Mary and Joseph with baby Jesus in the crib and a shepherd accompanied by two sheep. The central axis is a carved fir tree. Other traditional themes involve miners' scenes or carol singers round a church, usually the characteristic octogonal church of Seiffen.
The trick to keep the pyramid moving smoothly is cleaning the glass bearing underneath the metal tip of the axis and inserting a drop of olive oil every year before putting up the pyramid.
Grosssedlitz is about 19 km south of Dresden, in a side-valley of the river Elbe and it is really spelled with 3 s in a row ! or sometimes it is also spelled Großsedlitz. This great baroque palace is mainly famous for its lovely baroque gardens .
This castle is 5 Km from Pirna , simply follow the signs-posts, when you drive on the left shore of the river Elbe / Labe .
When you click on my picture, you will see that the park was built perfectely into the landscape with plenty of lovely sculptures to be found all over the park, including these sphynxes with the funny smile.
The castle is open daily :
March-Sept: 08.00a.m. - 08.00p.m.
Nov-March : Sat+Sun 10.00a.m.-04.00p.m.(weather permitting !)
NextBike is a private bicycle sharing system that is quite similar to DB Call-a-Bike except that it is partially paid for by advertising directly on the bike -- and it is cheaper. Rental of a NextBike costs one Euro per hour or five Euros for up to 24 hours -- five Euros as opposed to nine for Call-a-Bike.
Online registration for NextBike is easy provided you are willing to give them your credit card number and cell phone number. Registration costs one Euro, which is applied to your first bike rental.
I had already been registered with NextBike for a while, but Dresden was the first place I had a chance to try it out. I checked out a bike at the main station, rode it through the Großer Garten to the Adult Education Center, left it locked up there all afternoon and then rode it back when I was finished with my workshop. On my next credit card bill they deducted five Euros, one for registration and four for the day's cycling.
Aside from being cheaper, I found NextBike to be somewhat less hassle than Call-a-Bike -- though you do need a cell phone for both.
NextBike is currently available in Dresden, Erlangen, Frankfurt am Main and Nürnberg, and they say it will be expanding soon to include nine more German cities and even some in Austria and New Zealand.

Very friendly staff and wonderful food and it´s cheap as well. Lovely terrace in front of the house. The restaurant is over two floors. Many 'Stammgäste'! Spaghetti with turkeybreast, peas, fresh tomatoes, white wine and parmesano cheese!!!
