Top 10 Things to do in Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-Wurttemberg
The city of Freiburg im Breisgau sits austerely on the edge of the Black Forest. Home to one of Germany’s oldest universities and a Gothic sandstone cathedral, it’s a hub for academics and medieval history buffs. Chug German suds at a local brewery, then hop a cable car up Schauinsland mountain, where astounding views and a solar observatory await.

This town square, built next to and named after Freiburg's famous cathedral, is still a major center of the city's social activity.

There is a nice market near the Cathedral. And Rote lange is absolutely tasty! And next week-end we had fish sandwiches. As well as bought some samples of German sausages and French cheeses. Besides we bought some of the farmer produce of an excellent quality for daily use which was very helpful as we were staying in an apartment nearby for 9 days with self service! Recommend very much!

The market surrounds the the cathedral in the center of the old section of town. The market gives the square a vitality with vendors selling local, seasonal produce, flowers, food, and other products. Concerts on the cathedral's organ occur every Saturday morning and feature both traditional and contemporary works. You can take tours of the cathedral by the docents and even visit the workshop where new stonework is carved using traditional tools.

The Schwabentor was the entrance to the old town for everybody coming from east, meaning the black forest. The Street leading from there into the center ist called Salt Street, Salzstrasse, and marks an old celtic trading route. Why it is called the "Swabian" Gate is a long story that you better find out attending one of the fabulous guided tours, many of them provided in English.

This mountain located on the outskirts of Freiburg provides both fabulous views of the city and peaceful opportunities for hiking.

Visit the Schlossberg (castle hill) to have a good overview over the city of Freiburg and its´s location between the Black Forest and the Upper Rhine Valley. Discover the small medieval streets snugglingclose to the Schlossberg, and, on clear days, yenjoy a view of the Alsacian Vosges in the distance. Access is easy, when you start at the Schwabentor, the northern town gate. In some ten minutes you reach the beer garden that provides a lovely view and good beer. Leaving the beer garden and ascending a bit more you pass a children´s playing ground and end up at the place, where the medieval cannons had been defending the town. The view here is heaven for photographers! Basically you can follow faily short as well as very long hiking tours from here into the Black Forest, which are perfectly signposted.
