OVERVIEW
Situated in the Black Forest region near France and Switzerland, the city of Freiburg has a history full of plagues, wars and changing sovereigns. In World War II German planes accidentally bombed the city but its historic centre has been reconstructed in detail.
Some of Freiburg's landmarks are the magnificent cathedral (Munster unsrer lieben Frau) combining late Romanesque and Gothic architecture; the old and new city hall; the historic merchant house; and Gothic Haus zum Walfisch (house of the whale), where Renaissance philosopher Erasmus von Rotterdam lived.
Freiburg is also a university town with a wide variety of cultural events, restaurants, coffee shops, museums and art galleries.
Due to its excellent climate, the area is ideal for vine growing. Freiburg's traditional cuisine is based on asparagus, river trout and kasspatzle (a cheese-covered dish of noodles).
Mount Schauinsland ('Look into the country') is reached by a cable car and it offers a panoramic view over Freiburg and its surroundings.
