Freiburg im Breisgau: What Awaits You

Freiburg im Breisgau is Germany's sunniest city and the unofficial capital of the Black Forest. The medieval old town centres on the Münsterplatz, dominated by a Gothic cathedral whose 116-metre sandstone spire is considered one of the finest in Christendom. The famous Bächle — tiny medieval water channels running through the cobblestone streets — give the old town a unique character. Freiburg is also one of Europe's greenest cities, a pioneer in sustainable urban planning with its car-free Vauban district. The Schlossberg hill, accessible by funicular, offers panoramic views over the old town, the Rhine plain, and into the Vosges mountains of France. As a gateway to the Black Forest, Freiburg provides easy access to hiking, cuckoo-clock country, and the scenic Höllental gorge.
