UDO HEBISCH – THARANDT FOREST
"It's become something of a ritual for me –
twice a year I hike through the Tharandt
Forest, which begins right on my doorstep.
My favorite place to head for when I'm
there is TU Dresden's Forest Park, a secluded
and tranquil spot where I can recharge my
batteries. Watching the changing of the seasons
and the magnificent play of colors in nature is
especially inspirational for me. My personal
"The maze is where
I introduced my
daughters to the world
of mathematics."
favorite is the maze in the eastern part of the
Forest Park. When my daughters were still
small, that's where I introduced them to the
fascinating and valuable world of mathematics.
Now that they're grown, they still love to
accompany me to this place that has a magical
quality for all of us."
Prof. Udo Hebisch is the director of the Institute
of Discrete Mathematics & Algebra at the TU
Bergakademie Freiberg – University of Resources.
He runs a math café and a virtual museum for
mathematics and art – a Saxon first! tu-freiberg.de
CHRISTIAN FENNER – ELBE CYCLE ROUTE, DRESDEN "When I
cycle to work in the mornings, I'm awed again and again by my surroundings.
With the grande dame of Dresden's bridges – the remarkable blue-tinged
Loschwitz Bridge – before me, I cycle alongside the lush Elbe grasslands and past
the riverside palaces, the Frauenkirche church, and the Semper Opera House.
The beauty of that panorama is almost surreal and often gives me a real rush of
creativity. The Elbe Cycle Route might be the most beautiful and impressive bike
trail in Germany. If I have a little more time, I head for the vineyards on the
Elbhang hillsides. From there, you have the best views over the city and river."
