Spree valley edge
The river flows through a steep valley beneath the old town, and bridges and a railway viaduct cross it. It gives the map a sharp, natural boundary.

The map
About this Bautzen map poster
Bautzen, known as Budyšin in Sorbian, sits on a rocky plateau above the Spree in Upper Lusatia, eastern Saxony. The river cuts a deep valley along the western edge of the old town, and the medieval centre crowds onto the high ground above it. From above you can still follow the line of the old fortifications, a ring of streets and walls around the dense cluster of lanes.
Bautzen is known as the town of towers, and many of its gates and defensive towers still stand. At the western tip is the Ortenburg castle. St Peter's Cathedral has been shared by Catholics and Protestants since the Reformation, a rare arrangement in Europe. The town is also a centre of Sorbian culture, and street signs are bilingual. North of the town, the Spree widens into a large reservoir.
A Bautzen map poster shows the drama of that setting: the curve of the Spree valley, bridges and viaducts crossing it, and the crowded old town pressed onto its spur. Newer districts spread out on the flatter land to the east and south. Together they make a map with a clear focal point and a strong sense of place.

Fortified old town
Narrow medieval streets fill the plateau inside the old wall line, and the Ortenburg castle holds the western tip above the river.
Bautzen reservoir
North of the town, the dammed Spree forms a wide lake with an irregular shoreline, the largest water shape on the map.
