I travelled to Freiburg via train, it was awesome, we were staying in the Black Forest at a lodge, so beautiful! One of my memories was that tram going thru the gate under the McDonald's sign, also the adorable little canals, my travel friend and I made little paper boats and sailed them on the little canals, LOL. that was fun!
Well you’ve sold it to us. What a beautiful place. It’s so nice to be able to wander an old town without fearing for your life with cars everywhere. We’ve not tried the snowball thingys, glad we didn’t at stand 3 in Munich!! That will be one for future German Christmas markets. Glad you stopped for a pint, always good to review the beer! Excellent job as always. Right off to script write for our Munich video which is your lovely faces in it this week!!! Cheers 🍻
Another awesome video! Freiburg looks like a dream, especially with the fall colors and mountains in the background. Coming from the US and now living in Germany, we 100% agree with you on the fact that active city planning goes a long way in making cities pedestrian-friendly and how it's not cities simply lucking into how they were built hundreds of years ago. Cheers for pointing that out! Also, the schneeballen is absolutely messy. We just tried one at the Goslar Christmas Market!
Been going here for around 40 years +- a couple except for the last 4. We stay on a campsite about 6 miles outside at the confluence of 3 river valleys. Best place in the world. The thing that we liked spotting in Freiburg were the shop symbols built into the cobbles outside many shops, particularly on Salzstrasse near Schwabentor, one of the city gates. Also Ravenna gorge has a glassblowing hut at the carpark worth a visit but not as good as when the old man did live glass blowing in the past.
This is another spot added to my German must-visit lists! But for now, while I'm in Germany and headed to a Christmas Market, I NEED to find that pastry ball and see what it's like 🤤
We have visited Freiburg a few times but not at Christmas. We are putting that right this year as we start our Christmas trip in Freiburg. Searching for some info I came across your bright, informative channel. We will be wandering eventually to end our trip in our personal seasonal favourite, Vienna. The Ravenna Gorge looks impressive so I will take a look at that next.
Freiburg is well worth a visit or two during summer, I really love this city and its surroundings! Spend a sunny afternoon at the Beer Garden "Kastaniengarten" on the Schlossberg overlooking the city and take a walk through the foresty park with its numerous viewpoints...... Enjoy! 🥰
as said , before in the comments, another fantastic video from and about you we germans would never be up to. firstly, i think - believe it or not. you both fit so much into germany, it would be so much sadness, you leave some day. as an bavarian looking in your soul. i say: just stay. you decide.
Thanks you so much! :) We really like Germany (Bavaria lol). I‘m not sure what the long term future holds, but we are definitely going to be in Munich for the foreseeable future!
Had Schneeball in Rothenburg, and thought it was great. Some don’t like it so I guess it depends where you get it, and what kind you get. But just a little tip. You’re supposed to smash it in the bag, then pick out the pieces. That’s the easiest way.
Goodness, those gutters are like moats 🙄@7:43 that is the Merchant's Hall - Historisches Kaufhaus 1520. I hope you guys went on a little hike into the forest?
We did! But only in our other Black Forest video :) about the Ravenna Gorge Christmas market. There were some lovely winter trails that followed along the river near by, and I even mention in that video how we need to come back in the summer for more! NFH is always up for a good hike.
Freiburg is so beautiful, thanks for convincing me. Some years back, when I was coming back from England, I took a detour, just to look at the City, but overnight I had fallen illegal. So the only thing I saw was the Hotel room. Now after watching your video, I have to come back to Freiburg. By the way, have you tried the snow balls in Füssen yet?
We will be there in December. We only have two days but want to spend one of those days in Triberg to see the falls. We think it might be better to rent a car to get to Triberg. What's your take on that? Is it easy to get there on the train or better to rent a car?
Sorry we have not been there, so I do not know! IN general, I do find the public transport in this area to not be very good, so renting a car might be the best option.
Is there a ticket in Baden- wurttemberg that covers all train and bus travel for 24 hours?similar to the Bayern ticket I will be visiting Freiburg for the first time this summer , thanks
I think there is a special ticket for each state, however, I would recommend the 49 euro ticket. it's a subscription service, so you need to sign up the 20th (I think) before the month you need it.
The Danube is formed by the rivers Brigach and Breg near the town of Donaueschingen. The train that crossed Ravenna Gorge in your video is actually heading for Donaueschingen.
When revisiting Freiburg during summer, make sure to go to the nearby town of Weil am Rhein. What makes this place so special is its location right on the German border to France and Switzerland. You'll be able to visit three countries in 10 minutes!
Sorry but weil im Rhein isn't that beautiful. There are nicer towns in the area around Freiburg. Staufen, for example. And Basel in Switzerland and Colmar in France. And the southern Black Forest is worth a trip in itself. From the belchen, for example, you have a mega view, on a really clear day you can see the Alpine chain from the Austrian Alps to the Swiss Alps to mont blanc in the Italian-French Alps, and you can also see the Vosges in France from there.

Hello, I'll be visiting Freiburg in 3 weeks :) I'd love to visit the Black Forest but I don't plan to rent a car... is there any bus/ train that goes around the small villages in the Black Forest? I also thought about exploring the forest by bike if there is any bike rental company. But idk about that too since it's gonna be winter and probably snowing lol Any recommendations?

“Actively improving cities” and then you show us construction of one of a hideous new buildings going up. At least call it out on it concrete block ugliness not compliment it.
I think people often confuse what makes European cities so nice to exist in. People often think it's the architecture, when it's in fact the abolition of cars. I don't care about the aesthetics of the buildings going up, I care about walkability. I will take the most unaesthetic, but walkable city over an aesthetically pleasing city overrun with cars anyway any day.

You‘ll have to visit next time! Thanks so much! We are excited to see you Munich video! :D
Love hearing how your German keeps improving! Gives me hope to one day muster up the courage to say „Ich möchte ein Bier bitte“ in person!
Awww thanks so much! That means a lot!

I planned to go for the Weihnachtsmarkt last week, but didn't manage to do it! :(
Good new is that I found your channel and this gorgeous video!
Welcome aboard! If you are looking for Christmas markets then you’ve come to the right place :)
I also couldn’t help but think to myself “those aren’t Gregorian chants 😅”. Great video!
Hahahaha
Que lindo lugar

looking in your both eyes in the videos, i feel a bit of relief - you will stay.

But just a little tip. You’re supposed to smash it in the bag, then pick out the pieces. That’s the easiest way.
I have never considered this Schneeball hack. :O genius
It is called "Stefanie Diller Schneeballträume (I think) and should be situated in "Hutergasse 2" in Füssen.
Thanks! Will check it out.

I have not. I didn't know there were snowballs in Füssen.
A Freiburg legend says that if you step into a 6:50 Bächle, you will marry a Freiburger. You haven't tried the "Käspätzle" or the "Maultaschen"?
Haha yes, that’s why I filmed myself walking over the Bächle 😉. We have eaten lots of Käsespätzle and Maultaschen, just in other videos. 😅😎
❤❤❤
thank you!
@ you are welcome 🤗

This is beautiful! Isn't Black Forest where the Danube starts? Greetings from Canada 🙂
I actually had no idea lol. Just googled it I, and it looks like it does start in the Black Forest!
Yes but in the other side of the Black Forest (east) Freiburg is the west, near the Rhin, France in the other side of the Rhin.
The Danube is formed by the rivers Brigach and Breg near the town of Donaueschingen.
The train that crossed Ravenna Gorge in your video is actually heading for Donaueschingen.
@@brigittelacour5055 very cool :D
I believe Freiburg has the most sunny days of any town in Germany.
Same!
