Tharandt is a small town located in the eastern German state of Saxony, situated about 15 kilometers southwest of Dresden in the Tharandt Forest. The town is particularly known for its connection to forestry science and education, being home to one of the oldest forestry schools in Europe, now part of the Dresden University of Technology. Founded in 1816, the forestry academy has significantly shaped the town's development and cultural identity.

The historic old town features medieval ruins of Tharandt Castle, dating back to the 12th century, which sits prominently on a hill overlooking the town. The surrounding Tharandt Forest serves not only as an important research area but also as a recreational space with numerous hiking trails. The town's cultural heritage is closely tied to both its academic tradition and its historical architecture, creating a unique blend of scientific importance and historical charm.
