Thomas Mann got the inspiration for his novel "The Magic Mountain" from his own stay in Davos. His wife Katia fell ill with tuberculosis and traveled to the Davos forest sanatorium for a lying cure. In honor of the well-known literary figure there is now the Thomas Mann Way.

Anyone who has traveled the "Thomas Mann Trail" and is a little curious about the man who gave his name can find out more online in the corresponding report from the television series "Classics of World Literature." In one of the short, 15-minute episodes of this series, Tilmann Spengler also introduces Nobel Prize winner THOMAS MANN (1875 to 1955). The report can be accessed via the following link in the ARD Media Library =>> ardmediathek.de/video/klassiker-der-weltliteratur/thomas-mann/ard-alpha/Y3JpZDovL2JyLmRlL2Jyb2FkY2FzdC9XT046MjQ0ODE0NTY5ODEzX0YyMDE4V08wMTc2MDNBMDpjaGFubmVsXzI4NDg3
