Tour Overview
Your visit to the Black Forest is not complete unless you spend some time in Freiburg, the capital of the Black Forest.
We tell you everything you need to know about the sunniest town of Germany. This is not your typical city walk - instead, we try to keep our tour fun and entertaining and not overwhelm you with lots of historical data. We point out the not-to-be missed sights as well as some of backstreets only locals know about. Packed with lots of background info, local stories and recommendations on where to eat, shop and drink - you will get to know Freiburg as a local, not a tourist.
Guided tours are great - but they often don't give you any flexibility on where to stop and what to see. Our self-guided audio tours allow you to choose the sights you want to see, skip the ones you find boring, go back to something missed. Or even pick up the tour on another day. It's all up to you. More towns will be added frequently.
Starting Point. This walking tour starts in the center of the Old Town, at the town square called Rathausplatz. This is also where the tourist info is located at. If you turn the GPS on your phone on (recommended) and enable 'location events' in the app under 'Profile' - then 'Settings', the audio starts playing automatically once you enter Rathausplatz and get close to the fountain in the middle.
