Park an der Ilm

The 48-hectare Park on the Ilm is a marvellously landscaped garden situated on the edge of Weimar’s historic downtown. It was here that Duke Carl August and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe made their gardening ideas a reality. They created a walkable work of art with diverse views of the landscape, park structures and numerous places to sit down and contemplate. Today, the Park on the Ilm continues to offer visitors a place to relax, learn and enjoy nature’s beauty.

A walk in this beautiful park should be part of any visit to Weimar. Large lwns, beatiful trees and the lovely river Ilm. Invites to reading Goethe or Schiller and thus complete the visits of their homes. Certainly visit Goethes Gartenhaus: it gives good insights in his first years in Weimar.

My wife and I visited here and took the German tour and I translated for her. The caves were beautiful and very cool. Good way to get out of the hot German summer!
