A message from the patron of the event ‘Der Lößnitzgrund ruft 2026’

Dear nature-loving residents of Radebeul, dear guests,

It is a great pleasure and honour for me to welcome you to the beautiful Lößnitzgrund. Special thanks go to the Landesbühnen Sachsen, the Meissen District Music School, the German Child Protection Association (Deutscher Kinderschutzbund e.V.) with the SANRO Children’s and Youth Circus, the choirs and music ensembles, and all the dedicated clubs and initiatives, as well as the town of Radebeul, and to all those who have made this wonderful event – with the theme ‘EXPERIENCING THE LÖSSNITZGRUND WITH ALL YOUR SENSES’ – possible.
The Lößnitzgrund is not only a jewel of our region, but also a place of inspiration, tranquillity and connection with nature. Here, we can not only see the forest, but experience it with all our senses – the rustling of the leaves, the scent of the earth, the chirping of the birds and the feeling of fresh, crisp air on our skin.
In these hectic times, this place offers us a valuable opportunity to pause and consciously appreciate the beauty of nature. All those involved have put together a programme that invites us to discover and experience the forest in a very special way – whether through music, art, movement or simply by consciously savouring the silence.
I wish you all an unforgettable time in the Lößnitzgrund, in the romantic clearing known as ‘Kleine Feder’, full of new impressions, inspiring encounters and perhaps even a touch of magic. May this event be not only a feast for the senses, but also an inspiration to treat nature with greater mindfulness and respect.
Enjoy the day – and let the forest enchant you!

Thomas Nikol, forester in the Meißen district & patron of the event ‘Der Lößnitzgrund ruft 2026!’
