Park an der Ilm
The 48 hectare surrounding park is located close to the city centre and the city castle. It ranges from the park of the Castle Belvedere to the Park Tiefurt. Goethe moved into his property “Star” in spring 1776 and initially had a huge impact on the design of the landscape park. His garden house and the Roman House are the most important attractions. Today there are traces of classical and post-classical times. Characteristic for the style are the numerous sight axes, bridges and statues. Today the park is a popular attraction for tourists and locals likewise.
Weimar
Schlosspark Tiefurt
The youngest son of Anna Amalia, Prince Constantin, designed the first scenic parts of the park. When Anna Amalia chose the Tiefurt as her summer residence she started the extension of the park. Later on it was redecorated and renewed by Eduard Petzold who amended further elements. The park is located 2 km from Weimar and surrounds 21 hectare on the shore on both sides of the Ilm.
Weimar
Schlosspark Ettersburg
When duchess Anna Amalia decided to choose the former castle in Ettersburg for her summer residence the rearrangement of her hunting grounds began. The park is about 6 hectare big and is located on the north of the Ettersberg. Opposite of the park there is the so-called Pücklerschlag, a long and wide grassland.
Weimar
Schlosspark Belvedere
The park is located around the Belvedere Castle, 2 km south of Weimar. The ensemble of pleasure palace and orangery was built in the 18th century and is surrounded post-classical-romantic Landscape Park, in which the Russian Garden with a hedge theatre and a labyrinth is included. The botanic importance of the plant collection culminated in 1820 as the “Hortus Belvederanus”. Today the building of the orangery is used for different changing plant exhibitions.
Schlosspark Kochberg
The Kochberg Castle lies about 35 km outside of Weimar and 10 km from Rudolstadt. In the first third of the 19th century the rearrangement started under the guidance of Carl von Stein. The big garden of the so-called water castle was converted into a Landscape Park. The work was finished in 1840.
