Freiburg City Garden
Highlight • Rest Area
As soon as the first rays of sunshine of the year shine from the sky and spring lets the leaves sprout, the city garden is a picnic area, yoga center and concert hall all in one.
Young and old have been coming here since 1888 to enjoy the peace and quiet of the green oasis and stretch their faces towards the sun.
Listen to the birds chirping or watch the ducks waddle towards their oversized counterparts at the drake monument. The drake is said to have warned the people of Freiburg with his loud chatter on November 27, 1944, when bombs from the British Royal Air Force destroyed a large part of the old town within a few minutes. It is said that many people were able to save themselves in air raid shelters. With its neck stretched upwards and its beak open to chatter, it has held its position here since 1953 as a memorial to world peace.
Here in the city garden, the ceramic drake stands in the middle of a pond, surrounded by large, old trees and pond plants.
Between visits to the museum and a tour of the city, let your soul unwind in the beautifully designed gardens. 250 types of roses and countless flower beds decorate the park from spring to autumn.
The Schlossbergbahn takes you to the Freiburg city mountain of the same name, which is almost 460 meters high.
