General presentation
Freiburg im Breisgau
Solar city at the foot of the Black Forest, between cathedrals, canals, sustainable neighborhoods, vineyards and mountain access.
Cathedral of Freiburg, Schlossberg Freiburg and Bächle give the most telling landmarks of Freiburg-en-Brisgau. Together, they form a destination where urban life, heritage, mountain reliefs and forests meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: very demanding in summer and slopes towards the belvederes. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Badenweiler
Badenweiler is a spa in Markgräflerland, situated between vineyards, Roman ruins and the first slopes of the Black Forest. From Freiburg, it offers a very gentle stop: baths, thermal park, castle in ruins and views of the Rhine plain make up a day without great agitation.
Remarkable location
Bad Krozingen
Bad Krozingen is known for its thermal baths and parks, in the sunny plain south of Fribourg. The place is especially suitable for a break between the vineyards of Breisgau and Black Forest: quiet streets, cure establishments and easy access to nearby wine villages make it a rested stop.
Heritage
Fribourg Cathedral
The cathedral of Freiburg stands in the middle of the old town, with its openwork arrow, sculptures and market that often animates the square. Entering allows you to leave the outside movement to observe stained glass, volumes and Gothic details in a very locally anchored atmosphere.
Place
Bächle
The Bächle, these small canals running in the streets of Fribourg, give the old town a very special rhythm. They accompany the walk, refresh the atmosphere and turn the alleys into an almost tactile experience, especially when you follow them around the cathedral.
