SALES GUIDE 2011 - Görlitz

3. SAXON STATE EXHIBITION 2011 GUIDED TOURS OF THE CITY
5-day programme: A team of six cities –
the “Lusatian League”
In 1346 Bautzen, Görlitz, Kamenz, Löbau and
Zittau came together with the present Polish
town of Lauban (Lubań), to form the Lusatian
League, thus creating a strong and infl uential
counterbalance to the landed aristocracy. The
cooperation between the cities as a federation
for the protection of the peace in the region
survived until 1815.
On your trip through the six cities you will
experience stories from 1,000 years of Upper
Lusatian history. The programme is available
the whole year round, with overnight accommodation
possible in Görlitz, Zittau or Bautzen.
The programme can also be adapted to your own
requirements in that the starting point can be
freely selected. The day's programmes are interchangeable,
depending on where the overnight
accommodation is booked.
