Chopin's visit to Teplitz was not part of his original plan, but the state of his finances was so good that he could allow himself some extravagances.

Everything delighted him at Teplitz, and, short as his stay was, he did the sight-seeing thoroughly--we have his own word for it that he saw everything worth seeing, among the rest Dux, the castle of the Waldsteins, with relics of their ancestor Albrecht Waldstein, or Wallenstein.
Leaving Teplitz on the morning of August 26, he arrived in the evening of the same day in Dresden in good health and good humour.

About this visit to Dresden little is to be said.

Chopin had no intention of playing in public, and did nothing but look about him, admiring nature in Saxon Switzerland, and art in the "magnificent" gallery.

He went to the theatre where Goethe's Faust (the first part), adapted by Tieck, was for the first time produced on the stage, Carl Devrient impersonating the principal part.
