Aukammtal, Urban park in Wiesbaden, Germany.
Aukammtal is a park laid out in the 1970s in Wiesbaden's northeast, with wide lawns, individual trees of partly exotic species, and the Aukammbach running in an artificial channel through modelled ground. Still-water zones alternate with flowing stretches, and the water drops over sills toward the Rambach. Nooks with seats sit directly by the stream or slightly higher along the broad main path.
The site changed from farmland in the 1950s to a designed park during the 1970s as Wiesbaden expanded and modernized. This shift reflected the city's effort to create green spaces during a period of urban growth and renewal.
The Aukammbach flows through the grounds in an artificial channel, its banks planted with varied perennials; small fish appear at times, and kingfishers have been spotted. Nooks with seating sit directly by the water or slightly above the path. At the valley's end, an Apothekergarten (medicinal herb garden) laid out in 1986 is open free of charge from May to October.
The main path runs the length of the valley, linking the rear spa grounds in the Rambachtal with the Kurhaus and Wiesbaden-Bierstadt on foot. Benches sit in niches directly by the Aukammbach or slightly above the path. In the eastern section, narrow trails are surfaced with wood chips; a Kneipp water-treading basin was installed after concrete wash elements were removed. The Apothekergarten at the valley's end is open free of charge from May to October.
At the eastern end of the valley, a herb garden (Apothekergarten) was laid out in 1986 and is open free of charge from May to October. Near the stream, concrete washing elements were removed a few years ago and a Kneipp water-treading basin was built in their place.
