Lichtentaler Allee Avenue traces its history back to the year 1655, passes along the left Bank of the river OOS. It stretches from Piazza Goethe to Klosterplatz, near the monastery Lichtental, at 2300 meters. In the seventeenth century it was a dirt road connected the Abbey from the main town square. First oak trees along the road appeared in 1655, and in the years 1850-1870 there were numerous bushes and trees, planting flowers bloomed and the road turned into a beautiful huge Park. The storm that swept in 1999, uprooted century-old trees in the alley, but soon the place of the fallen trees were planted, and the Park is fully restored to its former grandeur and beauty. In the alley is the oldest hotel in Baden-Baden, where according to the legend, at the ball of 1812 met and quarreled Alexander I and Napoleon Bonaparte.
