    Hiking

    Of course, Goethe is first known as a poet and author. However, his activities in the civil service for the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach also included tasks that could be easily combined with his interests as a natural scientist. Goethe traveled to the Harz Mountains several times, e.g. to familiarize themselves with geological features and mining.
