Package holiday to Freiburg im Breisgau

Freiburg im Breisgau, the southernmost major city in Germany, lies at the foot of the Black Forest and is considered the warmest and sunniest city in the country. The Gothic cathedral of Our Lady with its 116-meter-high filigree tower — praised by Jacob Burckhardt as the most beautiful tower in Christendom — overlooks the historic old town, where one of the most beautiful weekly markets in Germany takes place daily.

The Freiburg Bächle, narrow water channels from the Middle Ages, run through the old town for a total length of 15.5 kilometers and give the city its unique character. According to legend, anyone who accidentally steps into them must marry a Freiburg resident. The Schwabentor and the Martinstor are the two preserved medieval city gates, while the Fischerau and the Gerberau with their half-timbered houses along canals exude an almost Venetian flair.

The Schlossberg, directly adjacent to the old town, offers a wide view over the city to the Vosges mountains after a short climb or a ride on the Schlossbergbahn, and on clear days, even to the Alps. The Vauban district is considered a European showcase project for sustainable living. Freiburg is the gateway to the Black Forest: The Schauinsland (1,284 m) is accessible by cable car, and the Höllental and Ravenna Gorge are right on the doorstep. The Baden cuisine with Flammkuchen, asparagus, and Gutedel wine from the nearby Markgräflerland rounds off the stay.

Freiburg im Breisgau particularly impresses with fascinating culture. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
