Berlin, German's capital, is located roughly 85 miles (137 kilometers) north of Riesa.

Of course, visiting just one place, no matter how popular, can only ever give you a glimpse into the wider natural and cultural makeup of a region. So be sure to set aside enough time to delve into Saxony's other natural and man-made attractions. If you're keen to explore more of the region, you'll find Plessa, 19 miles (31 kilometers) to the southwest, and Hartha 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the northeast.

Meissen is around 14 miles (23 kilometers) from Riesa. This regional center contains a wide range of visitor attractions, like Meissen Cathedral, City Museum Meissen and Albrechtsburg. Church of Our Lady (Frauenkirche) and Meissen Porcelain Museum are other good places to visit.

Faith is a fascinating element of every region's make-up, so be sure spend a little time in Saxony's cathedrals and other important religious sites. The most rewarding places for travelers to visit when they arrive in a place they have never been are the ones that provide a picture of the local culture. Don't skip Saxony's history museums and art galleries.

When the sun is shining, take the time to explore the region's beautiful waterways. Rafting and surfing are some of the most popular ways to get wet here. Get outdoors and get amongst the adventures in the Riesa area. Try mountain biking or give hiking a spin.

When it's finally time to pack your suitcase and say "Tschüss", you'll have heaps of special memories to last a lifetime.
