Freiburg is a city in the southwestern German state of Baden-Württemberg, and it is known as the warmest and sunniest of the larger cities in Germany. Freiburg is an old city that has been known for centuries as a university city and the seat of an archbishop. Freiburg continuously developed under changing rulers, while most of the city center was destroyed by bombing during World War II and then rebuilt.
Today, Freiburg is a well-visited tourist city that has a cozy city center with several attractions. You can start at Münsterplatz square, where you can see Freiburg’s large Gothic cathedral from the 13th-16th centuries and the old trading house from around 1520, the Historisches Kaufhaus. Close to this you can walk another of Freiburg’s cozy squares, the Rathausplatz, where the city’s old town hall faces the large church, Kirche St. Martin.
Freiburg was formerly surrounded by walls, and today in the city streets you can see two of the old city gates, Martinstor and Schwabentor. Schwabentor today rooms a museum, and in the street Oberlinden by the gate you can see Zum roten Bären, which is considered to be Germany’s oldest hotel. In and around the Altstadt there are also several other museums such as the Augustiner Museum and the Archäologisches Museum Colombischlössle.
You can easily visit the forested mountains of the Black Forest, which starts on the outskirts of Freiburg. There are many routes and cable cars in the beautiful mountains and also other possibilities to get up in the heights. From the Stadtgarten park by the old town, you can, for example, take the Schloßbergbahn up 73 meters to the Schloßberg, from where there is a beautiful view over the center of Freiburg and the city’s surroundings.
Basel is one of the largest cities in Switzerland, and it is beautifully situated on the banks of the Rhine, bordering both France and Germany. It is a city with an interesting history, and it became part of the Swiss Confederation in 1501. Before then, the city’s university was founded as the first in present-day Switzerland, and later, Erasmus, Friedrich Nietzsche and Carl Jung were some of the people staying in the city.
The old town in Basel is both cozy and very seeing. In the streets you can notice several beautiful churches with the Basler Münster Cathedral on Münsterplatz as the best known. The square Marktplatz is also a must-see-place, and here is the city’s beautiful town hall, which dates from the beginning of the 16th century. There is plenty of activity around the Marktplatz, and from here it is not far to find a good Swiss restaurant such as Gifthüttli.
Mulhouse is a city in Alsace in eastern France close to the borders with Germany and Switzerland. The city is known from the 12th century, where the first written sources refer to Mulhouse, which was then part of the Holy Roman Empire. After a few centuries, the city became a so-called free imperial city, which means that it was a city-state that belonged directly to the emperor. After this period, Mulhouse was attached to the Swiss Confederation in 1515 and therefore did not become part of France at the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 like the rest of the region.
Instead, the city became an enclave in Alsace known as Stadtrepublik Mülhausen, which was Calvinist. The association with Switzerland continued until 1798, when a referendum in the wake of the French Revolution agreed to join France. It was a time when industrialization left its mark on Mulhouse, which first became known for its textile industry and later for production of locomotives. Mulhouse became part of the German Empire in 1871, which lasted until the end of World War I in 1918.
Strasbourg is France’s easternmost city. It is located on the Rhine and thus along the border with Germany, and throughout history the city has been under both German and French rule, which can be seen in both historical events and in many neighborhoods of the interesting city.
The island of Grande Île is the center of Strasbourg, and here are many sights and opportunities for lovely walks that can start at Place Kléber. On the island you can see the city’s cathedral and four other old churches as well as the atmospheric neighborhood, Petite France, with canals and half-timbered houses.
