Coswig bei Dresden: Residential Town Between Meissen and Radebeul
Coswig lies on the left bank of the Elbe in the Landkreis Meissen of Sachsen, with about 22,300 inhabitants. The town sits between the porcelain city of Meissen to the northwest and the wine town of Radebeul to the southeast. Coswig's development accelerated with the arrival of the railway in the 19th century, turning it from a small agricultural settlement into a residential and industrial satellite of Dresden.
Dresden is roughly 20 kilometres southeast. Meissen is about 10 kilometres northwest. The Elbe valley here is broad and flat, with vineyards on the slopes across the river. The Spitzgrund valley, a narrow wooded ravine cutting into the plateau behind the town, is a local nature reserve and walking area. Karrasburg, a small manor house, now serves as the municipal museum.
