The Black Forest’s chief spa, Baden-Baden, was the summer capital of Europe during the last century. Travelers still flock to this delightful town to ‘take the waters’, which may be inhaled as a vapor, bathed in or simply drunk. Fortified by the water’s therapeutic powers, one can take advantage of the town’s many sporting facilities. For the less energetic, the evening could be spent playing roulette or baccarat in a casino which Marlene Dietrich herself regarded as the most elegant in the world. Other attractions include the Baroque Kleines Theater, National Art Gallery, the Friedrichsbad Romano-Irish temple and baths, the Margravial Palace (museum), 15th-century Collegiate Church, Russian Church, Romanesque Chapel, parks and gardens, Lichtentaler Allee, tennis, riding, 18-hole golf course, winter sports, international horse racing weeks at Iffezheim and a modern congress hall.
