The Lichtental Alley was founded over 350 years ago. During its existence, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people have already managed to walk along the street. It stretches along the central part of Baden-Baden for just over two kilometers, but this is one of the most famous German alleys and, of course, the most Russian alley in Germany. It begins at the famous casino, where the young Leo Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky, who had already recognized literary fame, played. The Rostopchins, Menshikovs, Golitsyns, Demidovs, Trubetskoys, Barclay de Tolly, the Grand Duke and future Emperor Alexander the First made the obligatory evening promenade here (he married the Baden princess Louise, who made Baden-Baden popular in Russia).→
