Baden-Baden

Baden-Baden is a protected landscape area in the Black Forest region with natural thermal springs and wooded mountain terrain. The zone links forests, springs, and hiking trails into a connected natural space.

The area received official protected status in 1981, safeguarding its natural features and thermal springs used since Roman times. This designation followed growing awareness of the importance of such landscapes.

The Lichtentaler Allee runs through the protected zone with old trees and art installations that visitors encounter while walking. The place shows a long tradition of connecting nature and culture together.

Multiple marked hiking trails cross the protected zone and connect thermal springs, viewpoints, and historical monuments. Most trails are well maintained and relatively easy to walk, even for casual hikers.

The protected zone preserves natural thermal water sources with underground temperatures around 68 degrees Celsius. These geothermal waters feed Baden-Baden's famous springs and make it one of few places with this natural resource.
