Freiburg‘s unique and time-worn Old Town was thankfully restored after the terrible damages it took in the Second World War. However, some of the buildings you'll see today are the original, including its impressive cathedral and Germany‘s oldest restaurant, which has been around for over 900 years. On this walking tour, I‘ll introduce you to this charming and picturesque town, filled with ancient alleyways and architectural treasures. Our walk through the Old Town starts at Rathausplatz, a square housing two of Freiburg‘s Town Halls. You‘ll pass Freiburg Cathedral (or Münster) which miraculously survived the war. From there, you‘ll stroll from one medieval tower, Martinstor (Martin‘s Gate), to the other town tower, Schwabentor. Along the way, I‘ll show you a part of town known as Little Venice, its many canals lined with cafes which give it a distinctive Mediterranean flair. You‘ll stroll through the beautiful restored and enchanting street, Konviktstrasse, before ending your walk at the Oberlindenbrunnen, a fountain next to a 300-year-old lime tree. On this hour-long tour, you‘ll have a chance to: • Find out where in Freiburg Marie Antoinette stayed in 1770 • Discover a stretch of the old medieval wall at Augustinerplatz • Climb to the top of the Münster to enjoy a view that extends to the Black Forest and France‘s Vosges • See Historisches Kaufhaus, a historical department store that dates back to 1520 • Look for a crocodile in the Gewerbekanal and enjoy the charming canal-side restaurants • Stop at the oldest restaurant in Germany, Gasthaus Zum Roten Bären, which has been continuously serving customers since 1100 • Take pictures of the blue wisteria plant that turns Konviktstrasse into a sea of purplish-blue • Walk through the medieval towers Martinstor and Schwabentor and discover their histories • Learn about culinary specialties that you shouldn‘t miss, including the Schäufele, a tasty pork dish Grab your camera and join me on a walk you won‘t forget as we follow Freiburg‘s rich history through its storied streets.
