Sometimes we took our shady walk in the Stern, the oldest part of the Park plantations, on the opposite side of the river, lingering on our way to watch the crystal brook which hurries on, like a foolish young maiden, to wed itself with the muddy Ilm.
– from George Eliot, Three Months in Weimar
In the warm weather of our first month’s stay at Weimar our great delight was the walk which follows the course of the Ilm and is overarched by tall trees with patches of dark moss on their trunks in rich contrast with the transparent green of the delicate leaves through which the golden sunlight played and chequered the path before us.

Equally interesting is the Garten House, which we used to see almost every day in our walks. Within, it is a not uncomfortable homely sort of cottage (…). Outside, its aspect became to us like that of a dear friend whose irregular features and rusty clothes have a peculiar charm. It stands on a pleasant slope fronting the west, and there is a charming bit of garden and orchard attached to it.
