Is Freiburg Worth Stopping For? My Honest Thoughts
I Thought Freiburg Was Just a Pretty German City — But It Feels DifferentFreiburg, Germany looks exactly like the postcard: half-timbered houses, tiny canals running through the streets, the Black Forest at its back. I went in expecting a nice-looking stop between Basel and Colmar. What I didn't expect was how different it would actually feel to walk around in — and I spent most of the day trying to work out why.Filmed on a genuinely blustery day in the Altstadt (you'll hear about it in the first ten seconds), this is the second stop in my Basel–Colmar–Freiburg run — three cities that are absurdly close together and each completely unlike the others. I make travel videos for people over 50 who plan their own trips — cruises, scenic railways, river journeys, ferries and road trips across Europe and beyond. What it costs, what surprised me, and what the brochures leave out. Travel over 50 — done properly. #Freiburg #FreiburgGermany #GermanyTravel #BlackForest #Schwarzwald
