From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tharandt is a town in Saxony, Germany, romantically situated on the Wilde Weisseritz, 9 miles southwest of Dresden, on the Dresden-Reichenbach railway. It has a Protestant church, a hydropathic establishment, and the oldest academy of forestry in Germany, founded by Heinrich Cotta in 1811, with about sixty students. Tharandt is a favorite summer resort of the people of Dresden, one of its principal charms being the magnificent beech woods which surround it.
