Elbe - Eger
The journey along the Elbe River begins with a train ride through the countryside, exploring the river’s course and the life of river boatmen. Key locations include Spindelmühle and Hohenelbe villages, the Hirschberg-Reichenberg cog railway, and the Sudetenland landscapes. The narrative highlights Reichenberg’s town hall, Hitler Youth activities, and the Bösig ruins. The Elbe’s industrial significance is noted with excursion steamers, cargo ships, and the Steinschönau glass industry. The journey continues through Leitmeritz, Karlsbad, Saaz, and Kaaden, featuring kaolin mining, porcelain molding, and hop gardens. The Eger River’s course is explored, with references to healing springs, lace-making, and winter activities like skiing. Castles and villages are visited, culminating in a silent open-air stage performance of “Wallenstein” at Eger’s Imperial Castle.
