Lovely Lichtentaler Allee, a park and arboretum in the heart of Baden-Baden, is one of the prettiest places in a very pretty city.

 Nearly two and a half kilometers long, the avenue on the west bank of the Oos river follows an old footpath dating back to the mid-17th century. 

It's a delightful place for a stroll, among more than 300 varieties of trees such as chestnuts, magnolias, limes, oaks, and maples. 

A highlight is the Gönneranlage, a lovely Art Nouveau garden with more than 400 different types of roses.
