Museum Jagdhaus Gabelbach
Built in 1783 as a ducal guesthouse, it was the scenery of glittering parties. Goethe, too, stayed often here, but he didn't share the hunting-fever of his Duke. Today it is a museum and Goethe memorial with unique hunting exhibits. Visitors will also learn about Goethe's scientific studies.
