Timeline
10:00
Start at the Schiller House as it opens. The early morning light is soft and the museum is empty, allowing you to stand in the room where 'Ode to Joy' was written without distraction.
10:45
Walk six minutes to Gosenschenke Ohne Bedenken. Order a Gose, a local beer specialty made with coriander and salt. The beer garden is open and ready for visitors by mid-morning.
11:30
Take a short walk to Rosental. This large park offers a peaceful space to digest your drink and enjoy the open greenery just south of the city center.
