Freudenstadt

The district of Freudenstadt is a true paradise for nature lovers and culture enthusiasts alike. The town of Freudenstadt itself lies in the heart of the Black Forest and impresses with its unusual geographical location: it was laid out as a circular square surrounded by a ring of arcades. With their 50 arches, these are the longest in Germany.

The region offers numerous tourist attractions such as the market square with the historic town hall or the town church of St. Johannes Baptist, which is one of the most important baroque churches in southern Germany.

Cultural highlights are not neglected here either: the museum in the old monastery displays a fascinating collection on the history of the town as well as works of art from the Middle Ages to the present day. Those who like to play or watch theatre will love the Theater am Turm - it has an excellent reputation nationwide.

Another highlight is the annual town festival "Freu(n)de an Festen", where you can enjoy culinary specialities and get to know many local products.

Those who prefer outdoor activities will also find a wide range on offer here: Hiking on well-marked trails through dense forests and along rushing waterfalls is just as much a part of it as cycling on varied routes or playing golf on one of Germany's most beautiful courses.

Hiking on the Westweg, one of Germany's best-known long-distance hiking trails, is particularly recommended. In winter, the region also offers the best conditions for winter sports enthusiasts.

And what do you do in Freudenstadt when the weather is bad? Here, too, there are many possibilities: The panorama pool with its large sauna area invites you to relax or visit the cinema in the Kurhaus - current films are regularly shown here.

Freudenstadt is worth a trip at any time of year and has something to offer for every taste. Whether you are a family, a solo adventurer or a culturally interested city traveller - this travel guide can only recommend that everyone sets off for Freudenstadt!
