Freiburg: The Don'ts of Visiting Freiburg, Germany
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2022
- Freiburg, Germany is one of the best cities to visit in Germany, hidden in the southwest part of the country Freiburg is the most sunny city in Germany. You have incredible people, beautiful black forest hikes, and the munster is a great place to visit. Also, be careful you don't fall into a bachle as that water on the side of the road could mean you might be marrying someone from Freiburg in your future.

Freiburg has also another big park that isn't in the city center called Seepark. It's a nice park around a lake offering recreational activities for all ages, with its swimming lake, restaurants, playgrounds and miniature golf.
Thank you for mentioning Seepark and the swimming. My family is from Sulzburg, and my uncle and tante settled here in Freiburg. The beer garden had a delicious onion pizza, and the market around the cathedral has the best wurst vendors….there is great music, the shops are lovely too. The cathedral clock fascinated me as a child. My tante has long passed, but when we last visited and then traveled to other family in Switzerland, the train to Frankfurt airport made a stop here, and there was my aunt, with a Freiburg tote full of chocolates and fruit for our journey. I’m so glad to see this city get the attention it deserves.
@@patricianilsen4021 @Patricia Nilsen Yeah the wurst vendors are great. The onions you can get to your wurst is something I miss then I'm not in the area. The wurst vending is a big thing, so big that the vendors are obligated to rotate their selling spots at the Münster Market on a weekly basis so no vendor has an advantage over the others
i don't recommend this place, lots of old folks running around naked.
@@jonjon3829 Yes! Thats a very great Place, however you will be in Freiburg, visit the seepark. Wonderful sea, sometime the are open air events, you can do a lot of Sport activities, swimming and relax.
@@Manualiga why would I want to go there to see naked old people?
Being a university city, it is super easy to navigate for English speakers. The buses and trams are convenient too
Freiburg is twin city with my now town Besançon. I'm originally from Belfort and Freiburg was the nearest German town to us.
I really enjoy this town, lots of history, welcoming people, lot of youth due to the university.
Lots of restaurants, bars, people there take the time to live, to enjoy!
It's an ecological town too.
And Europa park, the famous, entertainment park is not far away.
Hey Wolter,
I actually live in Freiburg and I am very happy about your nice video. For your next visit to Freiburg, I can highly recommend the “Feierling“ beer garden, which sells their home-brewed beer from next door.
This! Best beer you can get in Freiburg imo. :)
I am from the area around Freiburg as well and I wanted to recommend the same place... But I think they were there before, because the scene at 5:55, the Bierzeltgarnitur and the gravel ground only match with the outside area of the Feierling...
Yesss!!! Don't forget to drink a Feierling "Inselhopf" beer, you don't have to drink that shitty Ganter beer 🍻
@@jonasl.1403 Ganter is still very good Beer imo. I went to the brewery tour there once and i was able to taste test their fresh unfiltered export and it was even better than the Inselhopf ^^
@@Nils6699 It's a matter of taste! Many people love the Rothaus, others prefer the Waldhaus. If you are looking for a good Pils I prefer the Alpirsbacher. Have you already tried the Hieronymus from Schmieheim?
I studied here in 2019. It was such a beautiful city. It’s very close to Colmar and Triberg which has the world’s largest cuckoo clock and beautiful waterfalls
Not only the largest cuckoo clock, but nearby they have also the oldest one owned by a family.
…in Colmar : the birth house from Mr.Bartholdi , 🗽 Lady Liberty’s architect (see the museum Bartholdi) 🗽
I worked there in summer 1992 - I loved it. Both the city and the nearby nature and small towns/villages.
Freiburg is AMAZING! I went while visiting friends from nearby little Gundelfingen and we loved it! Also, we were informed of a local legend which states that if you fall in one of those waterways you mentioned, you will marry a girl from Frieburg. 😁 Oh... and I also bought the Frieburg soccer jersey as well. 😎
gundelfingen lowkey better than freiburg ;)
@@lilbenny2861 definitely a cool town as well!
My little Gundelfingen. So sad I moved away from it after a few years there. I hope to move back sometime.
This is so cool. I am from Freiburg and I am actually living downtown. So great to see you recommend my home in such a happy and informative way. If anybody wants to met up for a coffee and a chat I'd be happy to meet and recommend different places :) Safe travel to all of you guys
Hi Andy - I’m visiting in a few weeks and want to watch some World Cup games on TV. What are the best places to catch the games?
Thank you for this video! I’m going to Freiburg (and a bunch of other cities in Germany) in a few weeks. It’s my first international holiday in nearly 10 years so I’ve been pretty nervous about it but your videos have helped me prepare and feel a bit more confident 😊.
Awesome! Have fun!!!
Take care! There are dangerous "Bächle". If you step into it you'll have to marry a Freiburger😉😄
@@heavyherti8892 but only a real "Bobbele" ;) :D
@@HYPERHYPERqbe ja wohl 😂
Hi Megan, I’m Hannah and from Freiburg. If you want I could show you some nice places I’m Freiburg, when you are coming here
This looks like my type of place. Great hiking around, beautiful architecture, not over run with foreign tourists, terraces to enjoy a frosty beer.🍺😋 Yes please. All I know so far about Germany is Cologne because of a work conference I had about a dozen years ago. I definitely plan to correct that.
Freiburg is definitely worth visiting! I've been living here for a year now and I wouldn't want to miss it anymore ❤️ it's really the best city I could've moved to
Thank you very much for highlighting my wonderful hometown. For me the most beautyful city in the world. Nice to see that other people love Freiburg as well.
Splendid overview of a very charming town I heretofore hadn't looked into...now it's added to our list, which has become VERY long (think we'll have to become expats for awhile) in large part due to your outstanding videos! Thanks Mark (& Jocelyn)...you've enriched our upcoming travels in so many helpful ways!!
This city is a jewel...the whole family loves spending time over there...very charmant, many things to do...a city with flair!
Thank you so much. I'll be studying in Freiburg next spring and can't wait to be there!
i just love this video :) my family and I regularly visit Freiburg and I am even moving there, it really is the most beautiful and relaxed city I've ever been to. also, his tips and suggestions about Freiburg are vey accurate!
Love the video! 10/10
Greetings from Freiburg.
Thanks again for taking the time to upload good informational videos. 👍
I understand what you say about Freiburg. Had a conference in Frankfurt, then spent a couple days in Koblenz sort of touring around, saw Burg Eltz. Then visited Freiburg, as my direct ancestor from Europe emigrated from there in the 1600s and his parents are buried in the Old Cemetery. Intended to travel on to Munich, but sort of fell in love with the place and stayed for a week.
Lovely video about my birthplace (next to the Dreisam. no less), I used to busk on the streets of Freiburg and the crowds were brilliant. I've been in England for the past 26 years, but my family still lives south of Freiburg in the Black Forest. Coming back there is always a treat and it changes all the time, too!
Great insights on Freiburg! Visiting lesser-known gems like this adds a unique touch to travel experiences. The local vibe, architecture, and outdoor activities make it a hidden treasure. Thanks for sharing your valuable tips and don'ts!
Awesome video Mark! Thanks so much!
Flying there early October to attend the university of freiburg! This video is a great guide of what to expect, thanks!
The cathedral is gorgeous! Thanks
I just found your channel and subscribed. This video in particular caught my attention. My German ancestors were from this part of Germany, and seeing the city where some of them lived and most likely visited during their lives was awesome. If I ever make it to Germany, this will be the first place I go.
I went to Freiburg in 2018, to the Christmas market, I'm returning this December, with my sister, who is treating me for my 60th Birthday, to visit the Christmas market again. It is a wonderful place to visit.
This is the best promotional film about the city of Freiburg and the surrounding area that I have seen ever. Don't forget to climb the cathedral tower. To visit the tower keeper or to book a guided tour of the minster workshop (Münsterbauhütten Tours bookings in the minster shop). There is good beer in the Feierling beer garden and international food in the market hall. Great video.
thanks for sharing, not heard of this place before.
I love seeing Freiburg on film -- it's so photogenic! Very nice video.
Freiburg is awesome! I went there on my first trip to Germany and just loved it and all of the other small towns that we visited.
Thanks for this video.
I'm learning some German now and planning to spend about 2 weeks around that area in September. This place looks like exactly what I am looking for as I don't like big cities and I'm looking to dive headfirst into the local culture
I hope to visit Freiburg next year! Another great video!
Cool! I didn't realize this was Jocelyn's favorite city in Germany. We've been staying close by and heading over today to check it out!
I live in Freiburg and l love it so much . The people are very friendly. Great video !
Don't forget that you can go up the clock tower of the Freiburger Münster. There is a little side entrence on the right side of the Münster that you can easily miss. It cost a few euros but the view is nice and you can even see the old clockwork.
Visit of the Tower:
Tuesday to Saturday 11.00 am - 4.00 pm
Sunday: 1.00 pm - 5.00 pm
Tickets:
Adults 5 Euro
Children, Adolescents (8-17 years) 3 Euro.
Children up to 7 years free of charge.
Accessibility:
There is no elevator and the upper staircase leading to the top viewing platform is a bit slim.
A nice video, man, thanks for the job! Im a polishman who is living since 2 years near of Freiburg and I can confirm - it‘s an amazing place. The multiplicity of trees in the city just makes me happy. ;)
now that you mention the multiplicity of trees :) Now i wanna keep my eyes open for the trees bc i live here since this year
Looks like a wonderful place to visit.
Thanks for the video, I live in Freiburg. Glad I was able to send your video to my family in the states. Being here 25 years and love my little city although it is getting crowded now. Lived in Berlin and Heidelberg. Heidelberg is nice, too. I like being able to go to Basel or France.
Hello everyone, I would like to mention that from 4:48 is not the old town hall, which looks old, but the right red building has been the old town hall. The town hall what supposedly looks old - is the new town hall. Is a bit confusing, but I can say that with certainty, because I grew up and live in this city.
It's nice that you are interested in my hometown.
Best regards from Freiburg.
Lovely intro to our great city. Used to be my home too - made me a little homesick 🥴Check out Tittisee and St Blasien in the mountains too
My hometown!😍 as a Real „Bobbele“ it’s nice to see such video
Hi Mark, as a German from Düsseldorf, who has lived in Koeln, Hamburg, Berlin, Munich and Stuttgart, I went to Quedlinburg / Sachsen Anhalt for the first time in my life because of your video. It is really beautiful and the people are so much more direct and friendly than in western Germany. Just the food was horrible all over, you cannot find a good steak or a good Italian, it’s best to stick to Greek / Chinese restaurants 😀
Glad I could get you out exploring more 😀
@@woltersworld Are you in Germany rn Walter?
Hey i got this recommended because i live in Freiburg. Lovely Video
To you, a map looks like a checklist! Happy travels!
So many great places out there
So cool to see people enjoying Freiburg when it’s your Home town
I’m glad you and your family enjoyed Freiburg
Freiburg is the closest bigger German city to me, so we go there as a family quite frequently. It's really a lovely city, this is a nice overview.
Also yeah Basel is quite close and just as nice, it made me happy you mentioned it, as I'm even more familiar with it lol
You really need tto see tthe "Marktthalle" in the Freiburg town center.
I't a big hall built into the old buildings where you can find all kinds of Food from endless contries!
it's only a 5min walk from the "Bertoldsbrunnen" in the city ♥
Also I justt love the video even when there''s SO MUCH MORE to do in town.
0:20 this pinkish building here, Hotel Bären, is btw. the oldest restaurant in Germany. Greetings from Freiburg 😅
great video man!
Hello its a very nice Video. i m living since 12 years in Freiburg after leaving Berlin. It s really nice to be here. When you have kids there is the Mundenhof , this is a little Kind of a Zoo and its fir free. And Don t miss the schau ins Land Tour . And with the train you can reach a lot of nice places like seas, mountain and history Place.
Definitely worth mentioning is the great cycling infrastructure!
I, as a Freiburger, really enjoyed this video
Moved here 1.5years ago and absolutely love it
Verry nice seein my hometown in one of your videos:)).
You also have to visit the Kaiserstuhl(Endingen,Bahlingen, Riegel)where wine is made ,soooo beautiful,30km away
Also dont forget to check out other parts of town. The nice thing about Freiburg is that every neighborhood has its gems. Especially Wiehre, Vauban, Herdern are great for strolls.
Good onya mate !!! and that's a ten out of ten ! from a local :) living in far away Sydney, Australia :(
I studied piano there in 1981-82. I lived in Kappel, just around the "corner" and up that little valley. Reichenbachstrasse. I visited again for a few days in 2003 (?) and was delighted to see the sheepherder was still there with his dog and sheep on the hillside into the Kappel valley. I was hoping to have liver & onions with spaetzle at Kappler Kreuz, but they were closed that day. The Schwarzwald above Kappel was very beautiful, with lots of quaint wooden signs telling which way at path junctions. Magical. Sundays early in the day many Freiburg folks would come in family units and lederhosen to hike. Do the bells in the Muenster tower still ring?
Lived in Freiburg, it's awesome!
It's the biggest southern city in Germany ;)
Public transportation in Freiburg is really good! Also you can just rent a bike (bicycle) and see different spots like this. Freiburg is really famous for all the amazing bike paths! (even a "bike-highway" at the Dreisam).
You can also hang out at the Dreisam when it's very hot and cool off your feet in it (or beer).
Great video. It's amazing how many people don't know the beauty of Freiburg and this regeon. Also, if you are here again with the kids, myself and my kids have a TH-cam channel of things to do as a family in the Freiburg/Black Forest area.
sure thing !
Ach je, my hometown. long time no see.
Great video Mark
Thank you
I lived here for a year in college and had an amazing experience. It's a lovely town that I have to visit again. I miss the lifestyle of being in Freiburg.
Its such a great city. Thats cool you got to spend a year there
Crazy, I saw your Videos about the USA. And I am about to visit the US next Summer. Never expected that you would even know my Hometown.
Bist ein guter Kerl
Hello :-D I life in Freiburg since... hmm... about 14 years :-) ... I say thanks a lot for the video, and tschüss from Freiburg
Stayed in Freiburg for 10 days many years ago. Fell in love with Freiburg.
It's also a really popular mountainbike location.
I was born there and I'm there nearly every day and Im glad you like it
I'm living here and I love the city. we have 3 lakes inside the city where you can swim during the summer. Great restaurants with a lot of vegan and vegetarian food. and from the centre to the hiking tracks in the black forest it's just a 10 minute walk.
visit the market hall, where you can get food from all over the world and don't forget to visit our crocodile ;)
I study in Freiburg and it's a wonderful town with a lot of good places and retaurants to visit. The town is build very compact so you can reach most of the places in under 45 mins by walking and in under 30 by using the city railway. There are very nice spots for hiking and it's relatively close to switzerland and france. Definitely worth to visit!
Iam from a little town near freiburg. Dont forget visiting the brewery with beergarden Feierling. Best beer in the Black forest
7:34 You mixed in a photo of Graz, Austria there!
Thanks for writing about Freiburg. I grew up there, I like it. I always forget my hiking boots and it's wonderful to hike barefoot and cool one's toes in the little stream of water. Well actually wear whatever shoes you like, just no high heels, those are impractical on the old pavement. Just don't get run over by a tram or bike.
For Schauinslandbahn you don't need a taxi, you can easily go there by tram and bus. Also there are good tickets on the RVF.
What you didn't mention: It's a bicycle friendly city. When I'm there I do most of my trips by bike, it's by far the most healthy, practical and convenient way to explore the place, you can stop anywhere, you experience more along the way than in other modes of transport and they have nice bicycle routes. I'm sure there's a way for tourists to rent a bike as well.
Awesome video
Thanks Tobi
I live here and I love it. I could never leave, Freiburg is so special!
I spent many summers during my childhood there, it was mid 90s. I would love to go back. Love from Dubai
Thinking of having Strasbourg as a summer vacation base. Freiburg looks very close!!
please visit one of the two breweries in Freiburg Fierling or Mattins bräu. or do a simple tour of the Ganter brewery 😁
Beautiful city, I spent a few days here in 2015
Ich hoffe sie verstehen deutsch. Ich habe gerade Ihren Film über Freiburg gesehen. Auch wenn ich nur ein bisschen Englisch spreche und verstehe (deswegen schreibe ich auch deutsch), dass was ich verstanden habe fand ich echt toll. Ich lebe in Freiburg und fand deshalb den Film über meine "Hometown" (Heimatstadt) einfach toll. Ich fand es auch witzig , dass der "Ur- MC Donald" im Martinstor genannt wurde. Kurz gesagt Freiburg ist die schönste Stadt die ich kenne. Aber eins was mir gefehlt hat war die Schauinslandselbahn.
I live in Freiburg and I can only say that you are so right. Freiburg is beautiful. But you forgot to mention something. Because of the whole thing that so many universities are here there are actually a lot of cool things. For example: when you are under the age of 25 you can go into the museums owned by the city for free. Which is great. So maybe a tip for your next trip? Museums are free for people under the age of 25.
Museums are free for everyone or do you have to be european/german? Under 25 ofcourse.
thanks
@@CPHEALTHYM3DCP no you don't have to be European. It's free for everyone from everywhere when they are under the age of 25.
My mother was born in the near of Freiburg I’m Breisgau and I am just such a fan of this city
Thanks for the great video. Im proud to be from Freiburg. :) There is a lot of more to find. We have the Europapark (biggest Park in german), Steinwasenpark (Nature Park), Great places to biking, hiking and skiing and so lot of more.
I grew up in Freiburg for 19 years just modes to Manhattan and I am learning new stuff about my hometown
Thanks for that wonderful presentation. I would like to live at Freiburg - if I didn't live here since I was born😄✌️
Freiburg is a great place to check out. Has a lot of character and the Spaetzle is delish in the pubs. Der Munster back in 2018 had all these renovations and it was covered up. :( I couldn't check it out. As for the Bachle, I have seen a few accidents with bikers when i visited for a few days (looked very painful), and from drunks at night sometimes fall in. Do be careful if staring at your mobile and walking around.
The minstermarket is every morning from monday to saturday.
Don't forget to try a long red sausage with onions on the minstermarket.
I visited this lovely city a couple of times but never heard of the elevator you mention! Can you tell me how to find it? (Trivia for movie buffs - Dario Argento's "Suspiria" was shot there - check out the beautiful facade of the Haus zum Walfisch).
Hey it’s my third time here in Freiburg and I have to say here are lots of international tourists! Swiss, lots of French classes or hikers. And in the evening I only here Spanish so maybe something changed
Great video about a great city!
One little correction though: Normal Uber is not a thing in Germany so you can't count on it
Freiburg
Was born there and went back there for my studies :)
Also nice is the Cheese Museum near Freiburg. It´s i think in Endingen, was there once to make original chees by my self.
Happy 39 years in Freiburg 😊✌️
I agree. Freiburg is also my fauvorite town in Germany
Beautiful city with friendly people, greetings from Finland. I went in April a few years back and got sunburned because it was +30°C 😹 I also visited Basel, Switzerland while staying in Freiburg.
This is a really great video about freiburg, I think you’ve covered a lot of the important points. I’ve been here for 6 months now and I’ll leave in a few days, so I wish you’ve made this before :)). I hope everyone will have a great time in freiburg as I certainly did. Also just wanna add, the appealing two towered church is really nice but beware of drug dealers around, if you’re not a stoner. But even they are quiet friendly in freiburg they speak very well english like many of the residents and you can actually have a conversation with them if you care to
I lived in this city of Freiburg for six years. It is a very beautiful and memorable city. After 18 years, all my thoughts and feelings are still there. I went there again last year, but I want to be there forever.
You should have done a collaboration with the Black Forest Family!
Love your video! I‘ve been living in Freiburg for ten years now, moved here for my studies but never managed to leave this beautiful city that i call my home now!
I was actually waiting for something like „dont bring a SUV to Freiburg“ as Freiburg people hate SUVs! 😂
So we added Freiburg to our itinerary while in Germany based on your recommendation. We arrived there by train to a windy rain in the 40’s. No problem we will take the trams into downtown. It turns out the trams are on strike. Ok let’s take a cab. Can’t buy a cab. I think they may have been on strike too. We take a relatively quick walk into town in the rain. Not a horrible walk. Lots of interesting shops, beautiful churches, nice lunch and another wet walk back to the train. Lesson learned, always bring a rain coat and confirm the trams aren’t on strike.
