チェスターフィールド郡周辺のおすすめバス停からハイキング＆ウォーキング

Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy during the Civil War. Two key historic sites are located here: Chimborazo Hospital, the largest hospital camp of the Confederacy, and Tredegar Iron Works, the Confederacy's primary ironworks. The park commemorates the capture of Richmond, which was a major turning point in the war and preceded the surrender of Robert E. Lee by just one week.

The Carrara marble monument stands on Ebertstrasse on the eastern edge of the Tiergarten, between the Brandenburg Gate and Lennéstrasse, opposite the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. It reaches a total height of six metres, and the statue of the poet on a round base is 2.72 metres high. Three allegorical groups of figures are arranged on the stepped base: for lyrical poetry, a muse with a lyre and Eros; for dramatic poetry, a seated female figure with writing tools, next to her a genius with the downward-facing torch of death; for scientific research, a woman reading.

As you follow the trail, you'll reach a spiral staircase leading to a bridge over the railroad tracks, connecting the Buttermilk Trail with the High Water, Low Water, and JRPS Maintenance Trails.
