Luckau

12 July 2018

Driving from Dresden to Berlin we pick a random city to take a break, choosing Luckau because the sign mentions a historic town center.  An absolute gem of a town, it hosted the regional garden show in 2000 and still maintains many beautiful gardens surrounding the historic town center.  The star of the town is the more than 700 year old St Nickolai Church containing elements from Gothic to Baroque.  On our way back to the highway we stumble across an old Soviet cemetary and  drive through a historic glass manufacturing town turned into a museum.
