October 27, 2024,Kreuz und quer durchs wunderschöne Freiberg

What a beautiful city. I was in Freiberg for the first time today and I'm totally impressed. In every alley, behind every corner - there's something to discover everywhere. Visited all ten figures of the Silver Trail - all I can say is, it's great, a really nice idea. Also the city wall with the few remaining towers... I don't …

Today the weather was great when we visited Freiberg - so we were able to enjoy a very nice view from the Petriturm during the tour. And that was after a half hour organ concert 🎵 in the church.

This was also wonderfully noticeable in Albertpark. The flowers and fountains really make their presence felt there ☀️🌼

February 14, 2026,Freiberg: Silberweg

On our last day in Freiberg, we unfortunately didn't have time to visit the city museum, so we went back today, especially to see the exhibition about Elector August. To get some exercise, we also decided to walk the Silver Trail through the city. This roughly 3-kilometer circular route features 11 silver sculptures depicting the city's history. Each sculpture includes …

2 days 🪿🍗- we had to get a bit of exercise. Off to Freiberg, the new silver trail begins at the castle. 11 silver figures are spread out in the old town.
As the cathedral was also open, we took the opportunity to take a look.
At first we used the flyer as a guide, but it is not very …

I combined the visit to the Freiberg Christmas market with the Silver Trail and a visit to the Freiberg Cathedral.
On the way home I strolled through the Chemnitz Christmas market. The Chemnitz Christmas market is really very beautiful.

I think Freiberg is worth a trip at any time of the year. Unfortunately the photos are a bit muddled. But the mineral collection in Freudenstein Castle is well worth seeing, even if you have no idea about it. I can also recommend a tour of the cathedral with the famous Silbermann organ. And then one or two egg checks …
