A Mysterious Trip...

To celebrate the success of the 75th anniversary of the folklore dance ensemble, a “mystery” trip was organized for the dancers and musicians on March 7, 2026. The trip began at the Freital-Hainsberg train station aboard a historic miniature train. Two cars were reserved for the ensemble. The ride took about 20 minutes until everyone arrived in Rabenau, providing a cozy and atmospheric start to the day.

In Rabenau, they took a guided tour of the Chair Museum. There, they learned about the history of chair production in the region as well as the various stages of the manufacturing process. It was very informative and particularly interesting for the dancers from the choreography “When the Grapes Ripen in Autumn – Palatinate Suite.”

After that, they set off “into the unknown” by foot. After an hour-long hike up and down hills, they arrived at one of the dancers’ house. There, they enjoyed a barbecue and then spent the rest of the evening relaxing around the campfire.

The “mystery” trip was a complete success and a very nice change of pace from the usual training routine.
