At the corner Parkallee / Lindenauallee there is a large boulder in the castle park, which carries a stone plate with the following initial lines of an epigram:

The park. What a heavenly garden / springs from barren' and desert, / Will and live and shine / Gloriously in the light before me ...

According to the text addition on the blackboard Goethe wrote these words in May 1782 during one of his numerous visits to Gotha.
