City-Tour 4: Old Town, Cathedral outside and Schlossberg (Castle-Hill) with the "Schlossberg Railway".
Duration: Ca. 3 hours: My recommendation for fine weather
In addition to Tour 2, w'll go to the Schlossberg (Castle Hill) to one of my favourite places. We'll be rewarded with magnificent views of Freiburg, Freiburg Cathedral, the Rhine Valley, the Dreisamtal, Schönberg, the wine regions Tuniberg, Kaiserstuhl and Markgräflerland and - if the view is good - of the Vosges in nearby Alsace (France).
We comfortably climb the 73 metres in altitude from the lovely city-garden by "Schlossberg Railway" (photo) - an automated inclined lift - in only some 3 minutes.
From the mountain station we stroll for about 15 minutes on a pleasant, ground-level and well-developed forest path to one of my favourite places with wonderful views.
Freiburg's founders indulged in these breathtaking views. They had the "Burghaldenschloss" (castle) built on the Schlossberg more than 900 years ago.
A separate ticket for the ride is required. Available at the valley station. One way 3,50€ per adult. Group reductions may apply (26 April 2025).
