Lichtentaler Allee, Historic promenade in Baden-Baden, Germany.
Lichtentaler Allee is a tree-lined promenade that winds through Baden-Baden, connecting Goetheplatz with Lichtenthal monastery. The path runs alongside the Oos River and is bordered by various gardens and planted areas.
The path began as a simple track in 1655 and underwent major expansion between 1850 and 1870. During this period, numerous native and exotic trees were planted to transform it into the promenade we see today.
The promenade honors composers Clara Schumann, Johannes Brahms, and Robert Stolz with sculptures in the dahlia garden. These monuments reflect the city's deep connection to classical music.
Access is free and the grounds are open year-round to visitors. The path is well-maintained and easy to walk, especially if you take time to explore the different garden areas.
The botanical collection includes over 300 plant species, from chestnuts and ginkgos to magnolias and maples. This variety means each season brings different colors and blooms, making walks at different times of year feel quite different.
