Close your eyes, take a deep breath of summer air, and dare to plunge into the cold water. With STAUNT, we dive into the evergreen Gablenz. From the Hans-Beimler area to the Garden City, all the way to the swimming pool, you'll get a glimpse into the district where privet hedges and well-kept allotment gardens line the paths. STAUNT invites you to spend a sunny Sunday in the Garden City of Gablenz, where alongside sports, creative, and musical activities, you can let your soul wander and gaze over the blossoming Chemnitz.
