After our hiking trip in Saxon Switzerland we explored Leipzig. (Perhaps I should remind you that this hiking trip took hours and we made more than 20 Km on that day!) So we planed an easy day. Firstly we walked to the town centre to go for a good brunch. Secondly we bought a day pass for the public transport. Easy day - no not at all. I tell you.
We decided to go to see the city from above. I like that because you get a good overview which helps you to decide where to go. The MDR tower the tallest building in the city is not a beauty but the view from the platform was great. There is an entrance fee of some euros.
Back on the ground the tram brought us to the Monument of the Battle of the Nations. The architecture reminded me of Aztec Temples and Soviet buildings. Strange but very impressive. (entrance fee: EUR 8.00) Over 400 steps lead to the top! We were exhausted time for a break.
We sat next to the Monument for a smoke. In front of the Monument they rebuilt the "pool". In winter it is for ice skating and in summer you can see the reflection of the building. We were so lucky to see the bottom :-(
