Garden of Wolf Eibeschütz, called Adlersthal

Complete profile
100

"The garden of the Baron von Eibeschütz near Briesnitz ... also deserves to be mentioned. It is small and full of finery. One finds in it a nice grotto, a Chinese hall, and in general a great variety. The small apartment is very pleasant and nicely furnished. The greatest advantage of this garden is undoubtedly its beautiful and excellent location on the Elbe, which flows by here. From it, one can see Dresden in all its splendor, and at the same time, the charming and diverse surroundings very well. (Daßdorf)
