English is not my native language. So I wrote my journaling in german language. For translation I used Google Translate to help. I apologize for mistakes:

The path of discovery
My hometown Hainichen is in Saxony in the middle of Germany. We have a discovery trail that leads locals and guests through our small town and shows all of our sights.

The start and finish is at our train station (1) and you first walk to the Trinity Church (2), which was built around 1899. At (3) is our school complex, consisting of a primary school and high school, which has been redesigned in recent years and offers the children a modern educational facility.

From here it is not far to the town hall (4) which is located on the market square. This is where the Hotel Goldener Löwe stood, which today serves as a retirement home. A magnificent neo-rococo hall (5) has been preserved here, which was reconstructed and reopened in 2019.

On the market square is also the Gellert Monument (6), a life-size statue of the fable writer and famous son of our city, Christian Fürchtegott Gellert. Our city also bears the nickname “Gellertstadt”.

If you continue to follow the path, you will come to the cellar fountain (7) and then to the cloth makers' house (8), built in 1783 as a master's house for cloth makers in the baroque half-timbered style.

Via the Neumarkt (9) you reach point (10) the house with the workshop of the wood sculptor Johann Gottfried Stecher (1718-1776) A landmark of our city is the Camera Obscura (11). This technical rarity is practically the predecessor of today's SLR camera, of which there are only three in Germany.

Past the old cemetery (12) you reach the Werner mausoleum (13). Now we are already in our beautiful city park, where the Gellert Museum (14) is located and the beautiful flower clock (15), which is beautifully planted every year. Next to it is a large open-air stage (16), which is used for events. The beautiful half-timbered house in Georgstr. is the birthplace of the father of Bernhard Moritz Grundig (1872-1926), a famous painter and graphic artist. Before we get back to the starting point, we pass the Technikum, an imposing building that was used as an educational facility for many years.
