The Goethewanderweg leads from Ilmenau above the Ilmtal into the mountains in the direction of Manebach and further Stützerbach. A very comfortable trail in the footsteps of the poet, who was here in Ilmenau on behalf of the Weimar Duke on the way. Yes, he also wrote here, but his very mundane task was to inspect the mining facilities to revive ore mining (copper and silver).
