Baden-Baden

Baden-Baden is a spa town at the north edge of the Black Forest in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg in south west Germany, close to the Rhine and the French border.

The town centre is small enough to walk around. Bus routes radiate from the town centre (Leopoldplatz and Augustaplatz) to the surrounding villages. You must buy a ticket at the machine at the bus stop before boarding. Buses: http://www.karlsruhe.de/kvv/

• Walk along the river Oos or in the hills and forests around the town. The tourist office at the Trinkhalle can sell you a booklet of walks which all start from a bus stop. The walking is generally easy, but if you want to gain height with the minimum of effort, take bus 204/205 to the base station of the Merkur Bergbahn (funicular railway), ride up to the cafe at the top and walk down.
