Well, today I would like to talk about the town of Freital, Germany, in the Saxony region. It has a population of almost 40,000 and is the biggest town in the Sachsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge district situated on the Weiberitz River, which is 8 kilmoters southwest of Dresden (where the airport is). Remember the Germans use the metric system! Since 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers, 8 km equals 5 miles. Documents of the area date back to "1209 AD" - which is a very long time ago.

Here is a picture of the Leonardo Hotel in Freital.
