It’s summer and it’s time to celebrate in the streets of Dresden together with friends, neighbors, strangers…!!!
From August 24th to August 26th a quarter called “Hechtviertel” will open its doors and everyone is invited to join the colorful , cheerful event that is going on! There will be four stages where you can listen and dance to Folk, Independent, Reggae and Ska. You can also see lots of artists in the streets or try some home-baked cake in one of the backyards. One of the highlights is the bobbycar-race on Saturday morning or the big breakfast in the streets on Sunday.
The “Hechtviertel” is in the north of Dresden just next to the “Neustadt”. From “Lollis Homestay” you will get there after only ten minutes walk!
Bald ist es wieder soweit, auch dieses Jahr wird es wieder ein buntes Treiben auf den Straßen und in den Hinterhöfen des Dresdner Hechtviertels geben!
Vom 24.-26. August 2012 gestalten die Anwohner des Viertels ein quirliges, fröhliches Programm. So feiern bald Jung und Alt, Groß und Klein, Anwohner und Besucher, Nachbarn, Freunde, Fremde… Auf vier Bühnen wird Live-Musik gespielt, von Folk über Indepentent und Reggae bis Ska. Überall sieht man Straßenkünstler und -verkäufer, in Hinterhöfen gibt es (meist) selbstgebackenen Kuchen und zahlreiche kulturelle Programmpunkte. Auch für die Kleinen gibt es viele Kinderprogramme. Höhepunkte sind u.a. das Bobbycar-Rennen am Samstagvormittag oder das Hunderennen, bei dem alle großen und kleinen Hunde des Viertels teilnehmen dürfen. Am Sonntag endet das Fest dann mit einem großen Straßenfrühstück.
Das Hechtviertel liegt am Dresdner Norden und grenzt unmittelbar an die Neustadt. Von “Lollis Homestay” erreichst du das HechtFest innerhalb von 10 Minuten.

Royal Treasure Hunt – Once around Dresden
On this tour you’ll get the chance to visit many of the neighboring castles of Dresden and Meissen, starting off with the Moritzburger hunting- and pleasure lodge of August the Strong and the late baroque Pheasant Castle. Then you’ll travel to Meissen and walk along its cobblestone streets to visit the Albrechtsburg and the oldest cathedral in Saxony. Circling back and beyond Dresden, you’ll journey to a famous little palace on the Elbe styled in European-Chinese baroque. From there you’ll come to the famous Blue Wonder bridge. Here you’ll also be able to take a ride on the world’s oldest suspension cable car where, at the top, you’ll enjoy a fantastic view.
The tour lasts approximately 7 hours. Costs include transportation and the tour guide. 20 Euros per person starting at groups of three, 25 Euros per person for two people, and 50 Euros for an individual tour.
Saxon Switzerland Tour
Just east of Dresden is the national park Saxon-Bohemian Switzerland. Its bizarre sandstone rock formations and untouched nature is a hiker’s and climber’s paradise and for all who just want to get away from the city. After a hefty climb up to the world famous Bastei Bridge with its capital views of the river valley and stone mesas, the tour continues to the Festung Königstein, a fortress with a 750 year history. The third highlight is a trip to Gräfin Cosel’s fated castle in the middle of the medieval city of Stolpen.
The tour lasts approximately 8 hours. Costs include transportation and the tour guide. 25 Euros per person starting at groups of three, 30 Euros per person for two people, and 55 Euros for an individual tour.
In the Land of Sorbs, Slavs, Silesians … and Dinosaurs
The first stop is at the city of Bautzen. Over a thousand years old, it’s the capital of the Sorbs. There you’ll also visit the dinosaur park called Saurierpark Kleinwelka where, if you’re feeling brave, you can walk among and pet 100 life size concrete dinos. Afterwards, travel on to Görlitz. This beautiful art nouveau and turn-of-the-19th-century city will entice you to linger a while. On the way back Löbtau offers sweeping views of the Saxon countryside from the König-Friedrich-August-Tower, a structure fondly called the Eiffel Tower of Saxon.
The tour lasts approximately 8 hours. Costs include transportation and the tour guide. 30 Euros per person starting at groups of three, 40 Euros per person for two people, and 70 Euros for an individual tour.
Willkommen Bunte Repuplik! Seit 1990 feiern wir deine Gründung!
Leider immer mehr zum Volksfest mutiert, zwischen 1000 Bratwurstbuden und einzelnen Komatrinkern stampfen wir wieder eine Bühne aus dem Boden, die alle Musikliebhaber und Mainstreamkritiker vereint. Wir bieten immernoch das gute billige Dosenbier und ein paar offene Arme für jedermann, dem die Alaunstrasse gehörig auf die Ei ähh Nerven geht!

… wow this is supposed to be the longest headline I’ve ever wrote…
This year we celebrate the 20th anniversary of our populare street festival. The unique proposition of it is that there’s not one event management that is responsable for the whole festival but each inhabitant, pub, club and organisation. So you’ll find many different things with its own character. There’s no corporated design but lots of lovely selfmade actions.
By the way BRN means in German Bunte Republik Neustadt and in Englsih Colouful Republic of (Dresden-) Neustadt.
