Morning light catches the Elbe and you set off with only a smartphone, a map link and a story: the hunt for Böttger’s secret. The route threads from the Frauenkirche across Brühl's Terrace, past the Semperoper and the Zwinger, pausing at statuary and façades where puzzles anchor the narrative to real places. The city’s baroque stone and 20th-century reconstructions become waypoints rather than backdrops.
