So what can you see with the rental car in Freiburg?

First of all, the historic old town with its medieval city gates and the famous Freiburg cathedral, which is regarded as the city's landmark. A stream flows through the old town centre, which is affectionately called "the Bächle" by the inhabitants. Worth seeing are the fire-red historical department store from 1532, the Old Guardhouse Freiburg, the Archbishop's Ordinariate as well as the Gothic church St. Martin at the town hall square. 

Also worth a visit are the baroque university church, the Augustinian monastery with its Gothic cloister on the Salzstrasse and the Augustinian museum and the famous Colombian palace on the Rotteckring. A beautiful late Gothic building from the 15th century is the Basler Hof. The University Library of the City of Freiburg was founded as early as 1505, but nowadays it presents itself in an ultra-modern architectural style and mirrored garment, in which the historical buildings are miraculously reflected all around. Another modern building complex is the spacious Konzerthaus Freiburg, which was opened in 1996. It is not only used for concerts but also for congresses, conferences and cultural events of all kinds. Freiburg's main railway station is also worth seeing, especially the station tower, which is called "Solar Tower" because its southern façade consists of countless solar cells. Close to the main station there is another sight of the city of Freiburg, the Planetarium with its changing programmes on cosmic contexts.

Important squares in the city of Freiburg are the Münsterplatz, which is the largest cobbled square in the city. Weekly markets, farmers' markets and dealer markets take place here on a regular basis. The New and Old Town Hall on Rathausplatz are worth a detour, as are Augustinerplatz, Theaterplatz and the square of the Old Synagogue. The Raubrunnen and the Haus zum Walfisch can be admired on the "Kartoffelmarkt" square and other tranquil old town squares are called Oberlinden and Unterlinden. Small but nice and famous by insiders as the most beautiful square in Freiburg is Adelhauser-Platz, far away from the wide pedestrian flows.

If you want to take a look at the city centre sights one after the other, you should take a rental car from car park to car park, park your car there safely and explore the highlights on foot. Since the distances are very long even in the old town, it still makes sense to take the rental car with you and park it in the respective car park near the sightseeing site.

Top highlights around Freiburg im Breisgau

Again you swing into your rental car and drive from one place of interest around Freiburg to the next. For example, on the edge of the old town is the Schlossberg with the Schlossbergturm, from which you can enjoy a magnificent view over the whole of Freiburg, the Black Forest and as far as the Vosges mountains. Here you can save money on an extensive network of hiking trails and Nordic walking, there are two restaurants to stop off at and the Schlossberg is a popular local recreation area. Another much-used recreation and nature reserve in the Mooswald is the Arlesheimer See on the western outskirts of Freiburg.

You can also take a rental car to Freiburg's local mountain, the 1,284-metre-high mountain Schauinsland. The Schauinslandbahn, which opened in 1930, takes you from the car park, where you leave your rental car, up to the top of the mountain. The show mine, which is also located at Schauinsland, offers a fantastic insight into the historical history of ore mining. Families with children love to visit the small zoo of the animal enclosure Mundenhof on the western outskirts of Freiburg. The Faculty of Biology at the University of Freiburg operates its own Botanical Garden, which is open to the public. In the district of Neuburg you could take a rental car to the Old Cemetery, where the St. Michael's Chapel, home to the famous 18th century portrait "Totentanz", stands. The State Garden Show of Baden-Württemberg took place in Freiburg im Breisgau in 1986, the Seepark with Seeparkturm is now also open to the public on the former State Garden Show grounds. By rental car you should visit the stately estate of the Jesuit castle in Merzhausen near Freiburg and make a detour to the Kaiserstuhl with its countless vineyards. In the district of Wiehre, the Wasserschlössle in Freiburg with its striking front side in the castle style, is worth seeing; a trip by rental car is also worthwhile here. And if you have already arrived in Wiehre by rental car, then you should also make a detour to the almost 385 meter high Lorettoberg to visit the pretty Loretto-chapel there.

Further sights in Baden-Württemberg not far from the city of Freiburg

As one is very flexible with the rental car, one can also have a look at places of interest, which are not exactly around the corner but still not far from the city of Freiburg and within Baden-Württemberg. For example the two famous lakes Schluchsee and Titisee, on which you can take a boat tour. One should have a look at the highest German waterfalls in Triberg at 163 metres, the Black Forest open-air museum Vogtsbauernhof in Gutach, the famous tourist resorts, ski and summer toboggan run areas around Todtmoos and Todtnau and the clock centre Furtwangen with the largest market place in Germany. The location of the most successful German television show "Die Schwarzwaldklinik" in Glottertal is also worth a visit, as is the magnificent, 1,493 meter high Feldberg, which represents the highest elevation in Baden-Württemberg.

With the rental car it is of course also no problem to undertake trips to nearby neighbouring countries. For example, there is a trip to France to beautiful Alsace, Lorraine or the metropolises Strasbourg and Colmar, but also the Swiss metropolis Basel is not far away. Other pretty Black Forest towns are St. Blasien with its early classicist St. Blasius Cathedral and huge domed roof as well as the towns of St. Märgen and St. Peter. The Steinwasenpark near Todtnau, where the Todtnau waterfalls are also worth a visit, offers leisurely excursions by rental car. In Oberried im Breisgau there is the district Hofsgrund, which can also be easily reached by rental car from Freiburg. Here is not only a wonderful ski area, which is extremely popular as a winter sports region, but also the so-called Schniederlihof, a typical, historic Black Forest farm, which houses a museum in its interior. This documents the rural life of the southern Black Forest from previous centuries.
