To find the place, the easiest is to go on a Sunday to the vernisage, the meeting point will be the Artesian Well on Albertplatz at 7 pm.

This small 24 / 7 gallery opened on 01.01.2012 with the first opening.

The idea for this offer came up on a journey through Bohemia and the visit of Chezky Krumlov. Since 2010 already there is the „Stolen Gallery“ – the Ukradena Gallery.  You can find this also in five other cities across Europe,

It is a „project of experiential street art,“ where in urban areas a small wall board will be used as an exhibition space.

Every Sunday, the meeting point is on Albert Square – Artesian wells at 19:00 hours and have a tour for the vernissage and finissage of the „LandaufdemSand“ – Gallery .

It is planned to visit another gallery in Dresden Neustadt and the surrounding area.
Keep your fingers crossed, that the owner of the galleries open up the doors benevolently on Sunday evening.

First the best spots in Dresden to watch the firework (don´t forget to take the regions typical Rotkäppchen sparkling wine with you („Sekt“, buy it in the supermarket):

1. On the Schwebebahn in Loschwitz quarter, one of the finest in Dresden, high situated on the cableway station is a platform from where you get the best view over the Blue Wonder Bridge, the Elbe Valley and the Old Town. Take tram no 6 or bus no 61 till Körnerplatz or Schillerplatz, from there walk up the hill. It is maybe better to follow the crowds to get sure, you will not getting lost.
2. Castle Albrechtsberg, one of my favourite places, romantic balcony, in front of you the breathtaking view and behind you the romantic castle and it´s Roman Bath fountain, here you get definitely the best view for one of Dresdens finest fireworks, and of course you will see everything else from there too. Take tram no 11 to Schloss Albrechtsberg and walk through the big gate, take the stairs down right in the garden to the balcony.
3. if you want to be right in the event, you should go to the Augustusbrücke directly in the Old Town, watch the people, listen to the loud party people and be part of the happening. Walk or take tram no 8, very crowded and crazy!!

What else should you know? 10 seconds before the old year becomes the new year, we’re doing the countdown and clink glasses! Ehh, yeah we’d like do make our own fireworks, so everybody buys a lot of fire crackers and rockets for a lot of money and tries to hit the sky or the others! Beware of crazy Germans!

Lollis Homestay wishes you a merry, merry Christmas! Thank you for staying here, for sharing music, food, impressions, ideas, pictures, beer and stories with us!

It has been a very busy, but delightful year with you. We had our 10th anniversary, the best Hostel Party ever, the free concerts in our Hostel with “Adam Cream” and “Lindgrün”  and a lot of free dinners, Nightwalks, barbecues, International Hostel staff meeting and german lessons,…!

We hope to see you again, maybe next time, when we go to see parts of  the world in your country again!

Es wird keine Haftung für Schäden oder Folgeschäden übernommen. Bei Risiken und Nebenwirkungen fragen Sie … =)

Wir wünschen Ihnen viel Spaß – Ihr Produktionsteam

Gebrauchsanweisung:

a) Morgens, wenn die Frühschicht um 7 die Rezeption öffnet, dann darf, soll, kann und muss sie nun im Dezember auch das Türchen des Adventskalenders öffnen. Spannung spannung!

- genauer gesagt heißt das: den Stern öffnen und für alle sichtbar aufhängen

b) Auf dem „Kalendertürchen“erfahrt ihr dann zum einen, was sich heute schönes hinter dem Türchen versteckt, zum anderen die große Überraschung, wer die Überraschung “einheimsen” darf.

c) Dann wird es spannend für euch. Wenn ihr morgens aufsteht, vergesst nicht am Kalender vorbei zu gehen ( aber wie könntet ihr das auch vergessen ? =))! Jeden Tag darf sich jemand anderes überraschen lassen. Wer genau erfahrt ihr eben auf dem Stern.

d)Jetzt heißt es Action. Spaß und Kreativität stehen an erster Stelle – was das heißt das seht ihr dann.

e) Wanted! Wenn du dich also angesprochen fühlst von dem Kalendertürchen, wenn du meinst, es handelt sich um dich, dann zögere nicht und melde dich. Bis 20:00 uhr hast du die Chance uns an der Rezeption zu beweisen, dass genau du die gemeinte, gesuchte Person bist.

f) Um 20:00 uhr ist es dann endlich so weit und das geheimnis wird gelüftet: Die/ Der RezeptionistIn (oder auch kurz Rezi) wertet das Türchen aus und alles was dazu gehört und am Adventskalender erfahrt ihr das Ergebnis!

“But… its christmas soon, and Advent is such a cosy atmosphere at home…” ?

Don`t mind that – still come.

`Cause You don`t need to leave the advent atmosphere at home, You get it here as well. And This year You don`t even need to bring Your Christmas Calendar. We allready have one for You =)! Our new Special in Advent:

Lollis CHRISTMAS CALENDAR!

Actually its not even Lollis Calendar, but YOURS, for sure =)! Every day we are going to open a “window” at the reception and every time a different guest is going to get surprised.

We`ll tell You soon enough how the Calendar is gonna work and where You gonna find it.

Just wait and see!

Das lässt meine, vielleicht ja auch eure(?), Gedanken weiter wandern. Weiter Richtung Winter, Schnee, Weihnachten, Advent …

Advent! So lang ist es ja gar nicht mehr hin. Überall gibt es schon Glühwein und Pfefferkuchen, in den Chören wird schon fleißig das Weihnachtsoratorium geübt und auch über die Geschenke wird schon hin und wieder nachgegrübelt. Wie schön ist es da doch für ein paar Tage weg zu fahren, mal ne Pause zu machen oder gerade mal den Advent woanders zu genießen, vielleicht ja sogar Weihnachten?

Im Lollis homestay seid ihr da jedenfalls genau richtig. Wir freuen uns wie immer über euren Besuch. =)

Damit ihr trotz allem aber nicht ganz auf die adventliche Atmosphäre von daheim verzichten müsst, auch ohne eure Koffer mit Dekokram und Kerzen zu füllen, haben wir für euch schon vorgesorgt, mit unserem neuen Adventsspecial:

Lollis ADVENTSKALENDER!

Genauer gesagt ist es eigentlich ja Euer Adventskalender, denn Jeden Tag öffnen wir an der Rezi eines von 24 Türchen für euch und jeden Tag darf sich ein anderer von euch Gästen überraschen lassen.

Wie genau DER ADVENTSKALENDER funktioniert und wo ihr ihn im Hostel findet, dazu später dann mehr. LASST EUCH ÜBERRASCHEN! =)
