Goethe's expedition through Switzerland and the Savoy during the autumn 1779 traversed a wild Alpine landscape decades before it became the popular "playground of Europe" for thrill-seeking Victorian travelers. For Germany's greatest literary figure, the rugged Alpine landscape was both a place of spiritual and scientific wonder, and an environment that would provide inspiration for many of Goethe's best loved writings.
