Last weekend the historic centre of Dresden hosted its traditional August city festival, this year marking 809 years since the founding of the city. Dresden is, as we know, a city of historic steamers, so we couldn't miss it either, although...
We had to leave our historic paddle steamers and motor boats at home in our Prague mooring. Unfortunately the low water level on the Elbe did not allow them to sail.
So we set off on Bivoj, one of our small mahogany boats, which thanks to its shallow draft happily reached the destination.
During the cruise we admired the beauty of Czech-Saxon Switzerland, as well as the spa town of Bad Schandau, the Königstein fortress and historic Pirna.
