Path of lights

"Goat White Christmas" trail of lights, nativity scene and figurine tree

Things are getting mysterious in Altkötzschenbroda this year. Bärbel Haage designs the seven best hiding places on the historic village green. The "Goat White Christmas" trail of lights, inspired by Grimm's "The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats", transforms the avenue of trees into the most famous hide-and-seek game in literary history and gives a deep insight into the heart of a goat...

Everyday life is banned in this miniature universe, where people make music, read, do handicrafts, watch TV, die and celebrate. Some people even get bored - a forgotten art...

If you have hidden long enough, you will find the Christmas cot directly from the path of lights. This romantic depiction of the Christmas story through light sculptures is the creation of Muriel Cornejo and César Olhagaray.

Just like the nine-metre-high, illuminated figurine tree that welcomes visitors in front of the Golden Anchor in Christmassy Altkötzschenbroda. It combines Christmas traditions from the Ore Mountains with fairy tales, Sorbian costumes and Chilean art.

The Chilean artist couple Muriel and César are known for their imaginative installations that turn our familiar surroundings into a canvas for dreams. Their art not only transforms streets, trees and squares, but also meets us where we live. They create new perspectives on the seemingly everyday and make it shine anew in light and wonder. In this way, they enchant Radebeul into a softly glowing Christmas world of peace and inner contemplation in the midst of the festive hustle and bustle.
