About this audio guide
This guide to the Nymphenbad in Dresden's Zwinger follows the water rather than the sculpture: how a Baroque grotto court was fed in the seventeen-tens, long before pumps, through wooden pipes from a valley west of the city. It meets the elector who kept giving the same order, the court's grotto keeper, and a chronicler's account of the two staircases. Best heard standing beside the big basin, facing the cascade.
