"The Hellbrunn Alley in the Austrian city of Salzburg was created in 1615 by order of Prince Archbishop Markus Sittikus von Hohenems. Today it is the oldest surviving grand avenue in central Europe and probably the world's oldest of its kind. 2.5 kilometers long, straight avenue that is closed to motorized traffic, leads from Hellbrunn Palace on the southern outskirts in the district of Nonntal. On the road are several stately residences. Its northern extension towards the old town also performs as a pedestrian and bicycle path through the protected landscape area Freisaal and passed the Freisaal castle. The avenue is since 1986 a protected landscape of the city of Salzburg."
