Excursions programmeFREIBURG

Saturday, 26 October

The trip to Freiburg in the German region of Breisgau sees us arrive in the “capital of the Black Forest”. We begin a tour of Freiburg’s old city with a visit to the cathedral - the Freiburger Münster. With its beautiful spire, claimed to be the “most exquisite in Christianity”, and its elaborately decorated Western portal, the majestic architecture can certainly compete with that of France’s most divine Gothic cathedrals. Across from the cathedral square, we’ll take a moment to observe the late Gothic architecture of the city’s department store, before heading to Rathausplatz, where the old and new town halls, and the numerous cafes which surround the old university provide the perfect spot for a break.

The tour will conclude with a trip up the Schauinsland mountain offering stunning views over the mountains of the Black Forest and the plains of the Rhine.
