German avenue street
The Deutsche Alleenstraße is a 2,900 km long holiday road that runs through the whole of Germany - from the Baltic Sea to Lake Constance - and mostly runs along avenues . It is Germany's longest holiday route and began in 1993 in sections. The project is supported by the association Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutsche Alleenstrasse e. V. , which is made up of ADAC , the German Tourism Association and the Protection Association of German Forests and other institutions.
Origin and goals
The forest scientist Hans Joachim Fröhlich and numerous people interested in the environment had campaigned for the avenues that had grown in the GDR to be preserved. The German Alleen working group was founded with the major contribution of the ADAC and the merging into a uniformly designated north-south traffic route was tackled. The aim of the working group is the preservation, protection and maintenance of avenues in Germany and the restoration of old avenues after they were destroyed in many places in recent years by the expansion of roads .
The first section of the German avenue between Rügen and Rheinsberg was inaugurated on May 3, 1993.
