The most beautiful autumn walks around the Caracalla Spa

Autumn enchants the landscape around Baden-Baden in a sea of colors of gold, red and orange. The cool air and radiant autumn sun make this time of year perfect for long walks through nature. There are numerous beautiful routes around the Caracalla Therme that will delight both nature lovers and those seeking relaxation.

1. the Lichtentaler Allee walk

Lichtentaler Allee is not only one of Baden-Baden's most famous promenades, but also a real highlight in the fall. Stroll along the Oosbach stream under majestic, brightly colored trees. Historic villas and magnificent flowerbeds line the path, which is ideal for a leisurely stroll. A perfect place to enjoy the tranquillity of nature and escape the stress of everyday life.

2. the Geroldsau waterfall

If you want to enjoy the beauty of the forests and mountains, you should take the path to the Geroldsau waterfall. An easy hiking trail takes you through dense deciduous forests, past streams and rocks. The waterfall itself is a tranquil natural jewel, which reveals its full splendor especially in autumn, when the leaves glow golden. The circular route takes around 1.5 hours and offers numerous opportunities for a short break in the midst of nature.

3. the Baden-Baden Panorama Trail

The Baden-Baden Panorama Trail is the ideal choice for hikers who appreciate breathtaking views. The approximately 45-kilometre hiking trail can be explored in stages and offers fantastic views of the city, the Black Forest and the Rhine Valley. In autumn in particular, the trail offers a colorful view of the golden forests. If you only want to do a short tour, you can choose a partial route, for example from the Caracalla Therme to the Old Hohenbaden Castle.

4. the Battert rock path

This somewhat more challenging hiking trail leads through the Battert nature reserve and offers spectacular rock formations and magnificent views of the surrounding autumn panorama. The hike through the imposing rocky landscape is a real experience, especially for adventure-seekers and nature photographers. The mixture of nature, tranquillity and fascinating rock formations makes the Battert Rock Trail one of the most impressive walks around Baden-Baden.

5. around the Mercury

Another highlight is the walk around Baden-Baden's local mountain, the Merkur. You can either hike to the summit on foot or take a leisurely ride up on the Merkur cable car. Once at the top, a 360-degree panoramic view awaits you, which is particularly spectacular in clear autumn weather. The circular trail around the summit leads through colorful forests and offers numerous places to linger and enjoy.

After a long fall walk, there is hardly anything better than exchanging the fresh air for cozy warmth. The Caracalla Spa offers the perfect way to relax at the end of the day. Immerse yourself in the soothing thermal water and unwind while your body regenerates in the warm water. Or warm up in one of the many saunas and feel the tension melt away. Combine your autumn walk with a visit to the thermal spa and treat yourself to some time out for body and soul.
