Visitors to Europe wary of crowds have the option of visiting Freiburg in Germany, an enchanting medieval city on the outskirts of the Black Forest.<\/p>\n

Freiburg’s old town boasts a magnificent mediaeval cathedral, Renaissance university, and intricate canals. These waterways are known as “B\u00e4chle.”<\/p>\n

These small water channels run along the streets and were historically used to fight fires.<\/p>\n

According to local tradition, if you accidentally fall into a B\u00e4chle, you are destined to marry a Freiburger.<\/p>\n

The city also acts as a gateway to the Black Forest’s dense forests, scenic landscapes, and charming villages.<\/p>\n

A cultural hub with a lively arts scene, the city plays host various cultural events, festivals, and concerts throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Visitors are often drawn to the Augustinermuseum, located in a former monastery, which showcases both medieval and contemporary art.<\/p>\n

Freiburg is known for its commitment to sustainability with a reputation as one of the “greenest” cities in Germany.<\/p>\n

TripAdvisor reviews describe Freiburg as a “big city with a lot of students, a lot of cultural life, lots of bars and restaurants, a huge cathedral (you can climb the tower) and some museums”.<\/p>\n

They add: “Freiburg is better to reach the high mountains and lakes of the southern Black Forest (Schauinsland mountain with a cable car from a Freiburg suburb, Feldberg, Belchen, Titisee, Schluchsee). It is also better to do a day trip to Basel in Switzerland.”<\/p>\n

Another notes however: “Personally I don\u2019t think Freiburg itself offers a great deal.”<\/p>\n
