Saxony is rich in impressive creations of nature, of which Lars Franke has visited 50 monuments, photographed them and captured their stories on paper. The Petrified Forest of Chemnitz is just as much a rarity as the Kleiner Kranichsee raised bog in the Ore Mountains or the Clara Schumann lime tree in Schmorsdorf near Dresden. The 50 natural monument stories offer varied descriptions of nature and atmospheric photographs as well as lore and legends such as that of the Barbarine on the Pfaffenstein. The result is an invitation to discovery excursions or to the best reading for the cozy home.
