Mariánské Lázně - Goethe route

Mariánské Lázně - Goethe route

Municipal Museum (Dům u Zlatého hroznu/House at the Golden Grape), a place, where the poet spent his time not only with spa treatments but also collecting and studying local minerals. There is an exhibition commemorating Goethe's stay here. This 1km long route leads through the Geological Park, the largest one in the country. You will be amazed by the colours and textures of rocks in the park, on which we commonly walk. Part of this route is also a symbolic cemetery of the fallen in the World War 1. A sidetrack takes us to Laska chapel which is only a few steps from the sculpture of Goethe and Muse. This undemanding walk ends with a tasting of fresh mineral water of the Forest Spring.
