View of the park on the Ilm with Goethe Gartenhaus

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