Trip to Görlitz and Sound System Festival in Zgorzelec

An exeptional combination: Sightseeing in the unique heritage city of Görlitz combined with a free Sound System Street Festival which is taking place on Saturday in Zgorzelec. Görlitz is the easternmost town in Germany and lies opposite the Polish town of Zgorzelec, which was the eastern part of Görlitz until 1945. Today together with Zgorzelec it forms the Euro City of Görlitz/Zgorzelec. Görlitz was not damaged during the war, therefore it has a medieval, baroque and renaissance old town, surrounded by a belt of 19th-century tenements, villas and industrial areas, which stretches across the Neiße to what was East Görlitz, now Zgorzelec in Poland. Görlitz has served as a backdrop for several movies. The film boom has earned the town the nickname of "Görliwood" in the press. For some years now a Sound System Street Festival takes place in Zgorzelec for one day. Big sound systems will be built up with heavy beats. Sound systems from Poland and Germany will play until midnight. We will stroll around Görlitz and Zgorzelec, have lunch in a polish restaurant and attend the Sound System Festival, free and open air. You need Deutschland-Ticket. We take the train at 10:40am at Ostkreuz, and will return on the last train at 9:40pm, but you can take any train earlier. Donation for this event 2€. Bring your ID.
