Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 40: December 15, 1905Far below, on the opposite side of the Elbe, is Tetschen, which can only be reached from this side by crossing the fine suspension bridge here spanning the river. From our present elevation, the people crossing to and fro on the bridge look like midgets.This perhaps is the pleasantest point in the valley of the Elbe. And from here Tetschen looks like a town in miniature, and the man who collects toll on the bridge like a play soldier.The handsome chateau of Count Thun can also be plainly seen from this point. It is surrounded by a beautiful garden, which, with its library and armory, are open to the public daily.From the pole grounds we follow a narrow path around the mountain, where far below are two sleepy towns, with their typical Swiss houses, green fields and winding paths. Following the up per path we are almost directly over them. While they are hundreds of feet below.On the river side of the mountain is a convent, where the nuns, dressed in white, can be seen hurrying through the grounds.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
