They make use of the darkness: In Saxony, Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt, various promoters and organizers are focusing on light spectacles. As darkness falls, visitors can experience glowing parks, cities and tours. Sometimes the events cost admission, sometimes the light figures can be seen free of charge.
