Lichtentaler Allee
Lichtentaler Allee begins at Goetheplatz and runs upstream along the left bank of the river Oos to Klosterplatz in Lichtental. The original river path from Lichtental Convent to the market was laid out as an avenue of oaks in 1655 by Moritz von Lassolaye and later developed into a large country-style park at the behest of the casino owners. More than 300 different native and exotic plants and trees including limes, chestnuts, oaks, planes, alders, gingkos, silver maples, magnolias and azaleas line the avenue.
Gönneranlage (Rose Garden)
Lichtentaler Allee park boasts a number of gardens, including the rose garden with 300 different varieties of rose.
The Baden-Alsace golf region
From St. Leon-Rot near Baden-Baden to Kempferhof in Alsace, nine golf courses have joined together to form the Baden-Alsace Golf Region. Golfers have a wide variety of courses to choose from, all set in beautiful countryside. There could hardly be a lovelier place to play.
