The famous spa town of Baden-Baden lies close to the French border, where the Black Forest rises from the Rhine valley. Famous for its hot mineral springs and its spa architecture, it is a popular destination for the discerning (and rich) tourist.
Notes: The casino in the Kurhaus is open for guided tours in the mornings. In the afternoons and evenings, there is a dress code (jeans are allowed, but gentlemen must wear jacket and tie). There is also an entrance fee.
Tourist information is located in the pump room (Trinkhalle).
Paragliding from the Merkur is subject to strict regulations, including mandatory briefing and membership of the local paragliding club: a temporary membership for one day can be obtained at the base station of the funicular. Details (in German only) on the club wesite at www.gsvbaden.de/
For the buses, the "Citysolo" ticket costs €5.60 (correct as of June 2013) and is good for all bus journeys within Baden-Baden for the whole day. Buses 201, 205, 216, 218, 243, 244 and 245 all run from the station into town. Buses 204 and 205 run from the town centre to Merkurwald for the funicular to the Merkur. (All details correct as of June 2013).
