About Freiburg
Freiburg is a sunny university city at the edge of the Black Forest, with a red sandstone minster, streams in its streets and a medieval old town.
Freiburg im Breisgau lies in the south-west corner of Germany, near the borders with France and Switzerland, at the foot of the Black Forest. Its minster, a Gothic church of red sandstone with an openwork spire, rises above a market square where traders sell produce, flowers and long red sausages. Little channels called Bächle run through the old town's streets, and the medieval gates of Martinstor and Schwabentor still stand.
Top-ranked sights in Freiburg: Freiburg Cathedral (Freiburger Münster), Freiburg im Breisgau.
