Freiburg's Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Freiburg im Breisgau, a university city in the Black Forest in southwestern Germany, is known for its mild climate and its 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-meter-high tower of the Gothic Freiburg Minster rises above the Münsterplatz.

Kanonenplatz — View over Freiburg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Many Freiburgers today are familiar with the name of Kanonenplatz, having spent their free time on the mountain as a child, but know very little about this historic place, because the name "Kanonenplatz" is not far-fetched. The cannon square is located on the site of the former Vauban fortifications. It was Hermann von Greiffenegg, the then Upper Austrian government president in Freiburg, who built a late baroque villa on the Schlossberg in 1805 and called it Greiffeneggschlössle. Shortly afterwards came the cannon area above the castle on the mountain.
The former Burghalden Castle, which was once built by the people of Zähringen, stood above the Kanonenplatz on the Schlossbergnase. For the city's anniversary in 1820, this elevation was named Ludwigshöhe, after the then Grand Duke.
The cannon area is not equipped with cannons, but rather with telescopes to enjoy the view, which is truly breathtaking.
The view sweeps over the city with the cathedral almost within reach and, on a clear day, extends over the Rhine valley to the Vosges in France.

Schlossberg Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view should be reason enough to climb the many stairs and hold your nose in the wind. A great view all the way to France.

View of Freiburg's Old Town from Kanonenplatz

Highlight • Viewpoint

This vantage point is just below the Greiffenegg Schlössle Restaurant. The way there for right past the restaurant. Is easy to miss.

June 15, 2024,Schlossbergrunde in Freiburg

Today we're going to Freiburg. A short walk around the Schlossberg with its iron observation tower. 171 steps lead up to the top observation platform with a great view. Freiburg is always worth a visit.
