They are an expression of the land’s high image. Schloesserland Sachsen has taken on the responsibility to preserve this Dr. Christian Striefler wealth of cultural monuments and make them into expe- riences you will never forget. With this brochure, we are inviting you on a trip to some of the most fascinating places of interest in Saxony. With a Palaces Tour Card or Palaces Annual Card we would like to offer the chance to reasonably and comfortably dis- cover Schloesserland Sachsen. These cards allow you to visit more than 50 places, either on seven consecutive days or on 365 days, as often as you like. On the Internet you can find out for which destinations the cards are valid, where they can be purchased and about other advantages its holder can enjoy. Suggestions for topical routes will help you on your discovery trip which you can make, of course, a very special highlight for its almost 1000 events throughout the year.
