Overview
Around Freiburg we discover the charm of both the Black Forest Capital and the city of sustainable tourism. We learn about the legend of the Swabian merchant who fell in love with the city and proposed to buy it. For good reason because he was fascinated by the typical Bächle, the beautiful and imposing Münster cathedral, with the Gothic tower called the most beautiful in Christianity. We admire the mosaic decorations of the sidewalks and the beautiful bay windows of the buildings. But not only, we walk through charming streets and elegant shops. The tour allows you to discover the medieval city, the birth of the free municipality, its historical development up to the present day: today it is the city of sustainability and green economy.
