Join us as we opt outside on Saturday, November 27, for a hike through the beautiful Sächsische Schweiz National Park. We will meet in Rathen before heading up to Basteibrücke through the picturesque sandstone mountains. After some time exploring the history and geography around Basteibrücke, we will continue through the forest to Stadt Wehlen before looping back to Rathen along the Elbe. As we hike, one of our Dresden-based members will be passing along tidbits about the history, archaeology, art history, and geology of the area!

In total the hike will cover approximately 9 km with a steep incline [stairs] to start off the journey. We will meet at the Rathen railroad stop at 10:00 on Saturday, November 27, and then together take the ferry across the Elbe. Besides your travel to and from Rathen, you will need €2 for the ferry, a packed lunch or lunch money, and of course water! We are suggesting a donation of €10 to help support the ongoing work of DA Germany. Hikers of all ages are welcome! 

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

3G rules apply.

Join DA Saxony in Halle on December 12 at 3:00 p.m. as we discuss the novel As Nietzsche Wept by Irvin D. Yalom. 

In 19th-century Vienna, a drama of love, fate, and will is played out amid the intellectual ferment that defined the era.

Josef Breuer, one of the founding fathers of psychoanalysis, is at the height of his career. Friedrich Nietzsche, Europe's greatest philosopher, is on the brink of suicidal despair, unable to find a cure for the headaches and other ailments that plague him. When he agrees to treat Nietzsche with his experimental "talking cure," Breuer never expects that he, too, will find solace in their sessions. Only through facing his own inner demons can the gifted healer begin to help his patient.

In When Nietzsche Wept, Irvin Yalom blends fact and fiction, atmosphere and suspense to unfold an unforgettable story about the redemptive power of friendship. – Goodreads.com 

After the book discussion, we'll head over to the Halle Weihnachtsmarkt to share a Glühwein and get into the holiday spirit together.  

All are welcome to join, even if you don't get a chance to read the book! RSVP to let us know you'll be there.
