      "Johann Wolfgang von Goethe walked along the Aschergraben from Zinnwald to Altenberg in July 1813. This trip is reminiscent of a Goethe monument erected on the Graben in 1913." - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aschergraben#History

        The monument was erected on the occasion of the centenary of Goethe's stay in Altenberg in 1813. There is also a small rest area here.
