comments,

• High above a river, in a park called Saxon Switzerland…""Is a bridge that\s actually in Germany
• This wilderness acted as a great inspiration for a 19th century painter.""Who was the master of the landscape?
• This rock formation towers almost 200m above the Elbe river, offering spectacular views of the countryside.""It looks particularly impressive if you\re flying
• Tourists have been coming here for over 200 years, eager to witness the protective ring which circles a nearby castle.""Shall we storm their defences?
