Staying here means diving straight into Freiburg’s culture, joie de vivre and southern flair – all right on your doorstep.

View of Freiburg's Schlossberg

The Schlossberg

Just a few minutes’ walk from the Apartments at the Münster, the Schlossberg rises above the city – a place where history and nature come together. From here, a sweeping view opens up over the old town, the Black Forest and, on a clear day, all the way to the Rhine plain. Old walls and remains of former fortifications bear witness to the hill’s long past. Particularly popular are the Kanonenplatz with its panorama and the 33-metre-high viewing tower. Whether on foot or with the Schlossbergbahn funicular – the ascent is well worth it and invites you to breathe deeply, explore and marvel.
