Landesverein Sächsischer Heimatschutz — Mitteilungen Band XIII, Heft 11-12 : $b Monatsschrift für Heimatschutz, Volkskunde und Denkmalpflege

The volume gathers a lively assortment of short essays and reports that celebrate the cultural and natural landscape of Saxony. From the ancient stone towers of Lugstein and Kahleberg to the disappearing windmills of southern Upper Lusatia, each piece offers a snapshot of local folklore, historic preservation, and community memory. Accompanied by period photographs, the magazine invites listeners to explore a bygone era of regional pride.

In one of the most vivid contributions, a traveler recounts a winter journey on the narrow‑gauge line between Heidenau and Altenberg. He describes the struggle of the locomotive against snow‑filled valleys, the stark beauty of the rugged peaks, and the quirky customs of the people he meets along the way. The narrative blends humor with acute observation, turning a simple ride into a portrait of the Saxon Switzerland’s harsh but enchanting winter.
