Jagdhaus Gabelbach, Historical hunting lodge in Ilmenau, Germany
The Jagdhaus Gabelbach stands as a late Baroque building with simple architectural features, located three kilometers south of Ilmenau in the Thuringian Forest.
Duke Carl August of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach commissioned the construction of Jagdhaus Gabelbach in 1783 as a noble hunting residence and guest house.
The museum exhibits showcase Goethe's scientific studies, forest research, and the hunting traditions of Duke Carl August through period artifacts and manuscripts.
The museum operates from Wednesday to Sunday between 10 AM and 4 PM during winter months, and Tuesday to Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM in summer.
The ground floor houses a permanent exhibition titled 'Der Kickelhahn - Goethes Wald im Wandel,' exploring the cultural and protective functions of the Kickelhahn forest district.
