The Weissbach vacation rental is located in Dresden-Striesen, one of the city’s most sought-after residential areas. Ever since the founding of this Gründerzeit neighborhood—home to hundreds of city villas—a saying has been popular in Dresden: “If you want to enjoy life, move to Striesen.” In keeping with this spirit, we cordially invite you to stay in an elegant Dresden “Würfelhaus” (cube house) dating from 1896! Let us enchant you with a neighborhood that is truly one of a kind… Immerse yourself in “DRESDEN AROUND 1900”! Thanks to its remarkable architectural diversity and quality, the entire urban landscape in the area is designated as a historic district. Even a short walk to the bakery or supermarket becomes a sightseeing tour in Striesen: along wide, tree-lined avenues through the open neighborhood of villas and single-family homes, some with park-like gardens. And when you stroll the quarter-hour walk to Schillerplatz, you’ll be delighted, because the famous Loschwitz Elbe Bridge (“Blaues Wunder”) there forms the center of the approximately 7-square-kilometer historic preservation area, which extends across the river to the Elbe Castles and the “Weißer Hirsch” neighborhood. By the way: the beer gardens, cafés, and restaurants around the historic steel suspension bridge are legendary. The famous poet used to frequent the Schiller Garden… And “Villa Marie,” “Café Toskana,” or “Körnergarten” offer that “Florence on the Elbe” vibe you’re probably looking for, but which is hard to find elsewhere due to the crowds of tourists… Nevertheless, the Old Town and New Town are, of course, must-see tourist destinations for every visitor to Dresden. They’re just 4 km from the vacation rental. Why not take the tram for a comfortable ride (Pohlandplatz tram stop—300 m away)? Alternatively, you’re welcome to use the bicycles provided with the apartment and take a leisurely ride through the residential neighborhoods and Waldpark to the Elbe (1 km), then along the river across the vast Elbe meadows straight to Theaterplatz (another 4 km)... For us, the meadows below the Elbe Palaces are the most beautiful part of Dresden—we’re captivated by the vastness of the landscape and find peace here. Speaking of peace: since our vacation rental is located in the attic, facing the green courtyard of a side street, you’ll sleep like a baby. You’re sure to love the view of the park-like open space and the rooftops of the surrounding buildings. And that’s not all. We’ve created a 62-square-meter oasis of comfort for our guests, featuring a mix of classic-modern and antique furniture on maple parquet flooring. After an eventful day, you can relax on the spacious sofa set in the living room with a novel or a good movie (Telekom Entertain TV) or surf the Internet (high-speed). And in the fully equipped kitchen, you’ll naturally find everything you need (induction stove, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker...) to prepare and serve delightful meals in the adjacent dining area. Alternatively, you can dine from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. at a charming Spanish restaurant in the neighboring building. Within a 500-meter radius, you’ll also find numerous restaurants, bars, fast-food joints, supermarkets, and more.
