Saxon Switzerland, Germany
“The first time I looked at a picture of Saxon Switzerland (actually in Germany), the pinnacles reminded me of somewhere I’d been in China (the Stone Forest near Kunming). I was surprised to learn that these strange rock formations, surrounded by lush countryside and wooded hills, were actually in Europe. Being London based, I love finding great places to visit close to home. It’s just an extra draw that these landscapes featured in Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel.”
