Location
Today's hashpoint is at the Residenzschloss Dresden (Dresden Castle / the Dresden Royal Palace)! It was the residence of the prince-electors and kings of Saxony from 1547 to 1918. More specifically, the hashpoint is in the northwestern corner of the palace and hits the Historisches Grünes Gewölbe (Historic Green Vault) on the ground floor and the Neues Grünes Gewölbe (New Green Vault) on the first upper floor. Both are treasure exhibitions full of valuables (gold, jewels, ivory, amber and works of art). On the second upper floor there are "stately rooms" according to the floor plan. This is probably the most valuable hashpoint so far, with many millions in precious metals and jewelry within the GPS error radius.
Country: Germany; state: Sachsen (Saxony, EU:DE:SN); district: Dresden; Ortsamt: Altstadt; statistischer Stadtteil: Innere Altstadt.
Plans
Danatar: I will go there but don't know yet at what time. I have been to the Historic Green Vault twice before and I hope to find pictures (though it could be that it wasn't allowed to take pictures, I don't remember) or a ticket (which I doubt) to prove it.
