    The Schwabentor was built in the middle of the 13th century as a city gate within the fortification to protect the citizens.

    Today it houses the Zinnfigurenklause, a museum in which historical events are recreated with pewter figures.

    The impressive medieval gate is just one of the many highlights in Freiburg. And even if you're not in the mood for a city tour or a museum tour: It's fun to roll through the streets and alleys of Freiburg's old town - especially since it is really good to cycle here. :)
