The German Avenue Road is holiday route, around 2,900 kilometres long, that runs through the whole of Germany from the
Baltic Sea to
Lake Constance . It is thus Germany’s longest holiday route. The project is supported by the “German Avenue Route Association” (
Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutsche Alleenstraße ), whose members are the motoring organisation,
ADAC , the
German Tourism Association , the
German Forest Conservation Society and other institutions. The forestry scientist, Hans Joachim Fröhlich, was its major proponent.
The aim of the association is to preserve, protect and maintain avenues in Germany and to restore old avenues after they were destroyed in many places in recent years by road development.
