The town of Görlitz has a fascinating religious history and heritage. There are some beautiful historical churches, like the Peter's Church with its famous Sun Organ. Every time I enter this church I am overwhelmed again by its space and beauty. About 500 years ago the oldest faithful replica of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem was built in Görlitz. Along with other chapels in a symbolic garden, the Mount of Olives and the Görlitz Via Dolorosa this was called the Lusatian Jerusalem and today it is a unique place where you still can experience late medieval piety like nowhere else. Görlitz is also the town of the famous mystic and first German philosopher Jacob Böhme, who wrote incredible books like "Aurora" and whose house and grave you still can see. I invite you to come with me on this tour so I can share my passion and love for these places with you. I am happy to adapt this tour according to your wishes. Just let me know what your interests are and I am happy to advice and propose your personal tour
