    The Goethe and university town of Ilmenau is a dynamic city at the foot of the Kickelhahn in the Thuringian Forest.

    Ilmenau is really a pretty little town and a good starting point for cycling and hiking tours in the Thuringian Forest. It used to be said: "Either it's raining or the railway barriers are closed" - but today the Südthüringenbahn only runs to Rennsteig station on weekends. The rain hasn't let up though :-)

    Nearby is the Kickelhahn, the largest mountain in the area. Here, in September 1870, Goethe wrote the words "Above all the peaks is peace..." on the wall of a small refuge - the first line of the poem "Wanderer's Night Song".
