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.
