    Beautiful Goethe monument with woman at the edge of the forest

      Germany's probably most applauded poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was, being in his 70ties, spent the summer of 1821 here in Marianske Lazne, just to fell in love with 17 (!) years old Ulrike von Leventsow. So it is quite obvious, who the muse you see here, is. To keep it short: Goethe proposed to Ulrike in 1823, and ... she declined. Being devastated by her ,no' Goethe returned to Weimar and wrote all his sadness down in the ,Marienbader Elegien' en route. Today, they are considered one of Goethe's best poems.
      Goethe never returned to Bohemia, so only this statue and the poem remain to tell the story.
