The local experience
Bathhouse opened in 1877 in the old center, over the ruins of Roman baths. The Roman-Irish bath is a circuit of stations with hot air, steam and thermal pools, and it is traditionally done without clothing and in a mixed environment.
A complex of thermal-water pools next to the Friedrichsbad, with indoor and outdoor areas, hot and cold baths and a separate sauna area. Swimwear is required in the pools; in the saunas it is not.
A white-columned building from 1824, the center of the resort's social life, featuring the casino that became famous in the 19th century. Next to it are the Kurpark and the Trinkhalle, a colonnaded gallery with frescoes depicting regional legends.
A 2.3 km tree-lined park along the Oos stream, from the Kurhaus to the Lichtenthal monastery, with about 300 species of trees and shrubs, lawns, bridges and flower gardens.
Museum of modern and contemporary art on the Lichtentaler Allee, housed in a white building by architect Richard Meier, with the collection of collector Frieder Burda and temporary exhibitions.
Funicular from 1913 that climbs the Merkur hill, 669 metres high, on slopes of up to 54%. At the top there is an observation point over Baden-Baden, the Rhine valley and the northern Black Forest, as well as forest trails.
