Park an der Ilm

Park an der Ilm extends for one kilometer along the Ilm River, featuring walking paths, bridges, and carefully arranged natural landscapes that follow English garden principles.

The landscaping of the park started in 1778, with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe participating in its development and establishing his garden house within its grounds.

The park forms part of the Classical Weimar UNESCO World Heritage site, reflecting the intellectual and artistic movements that shaped German culture in the 18th century.

Visitors can access the park through multiple entry points around Weimar, with the Weimar+ app providing navigation assistance and detailed information about points of interest.

The park contains over one thousand documented trees, including native German species and North American varieties, creating a diverse botanical collection within its grounds.
