Our favourite Places for you
My favourite way to enjoy the Baden-Baden Wine Region Rebland is on an e-bike tour in the evening sun. Followed by a Riesling to round off the evening - right where it grows.
One of my favourite places is the weeping beech tree at the Finsterbrunnen fountain in Lichtentaler Allee. As children, we could hide under this time-honoured giant tree.
I enjoy the most beautiful view over Baden-Baden's church Stiftskirche, the old town and the city forest from the terrace next to the New Castle.
Our local Merkur Mountain, with its funicular railway and magnificent views, often entices me to go on after-work hikes and unwind.
The benches in the shade of the towering redwood trees on Michaelsberg are the perfect place to enjoy a little break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
At the ornamental garden Paradies, I always feel immediately transported away from everyday life and decelerated. For me, it's the perfect place to relax.
Impressive nature, stately estates and a fantastic view of the city - Baden-Baden shows its most beautiful side in the villa area on Beutig.
