Freiburg im Breisgau, a university town in the Black Forest in southwest Germany, is known for its mild climate and rebuilt medieval city center crisscrossed by small streams. The Schlossberg recreational area is reached from Freiburg with the Schlossbergbahn. In the old town, the 116 m high tower of the Gothic Freiburg Minster rises above Münsterplatz.

Hiking

Beautiful narrow alleyways and streets with many smaller shops that invite you to stroll. Many streets are cobbled, which reflects a cozy flair. There are small watercourses throughout the city, which are called Freiburger Bächle. There is an extra job for this, the Bächleputzer.
