Freiburg's greenest side: the Schlossberg (castle hill)

Lace up your hiking boots, put on your rucksack and just start walking: that's how quickly you can get out of the centre of Freiburg and into the countryside - for a short tour or several days. Behind the Schwabentor (Swabian Gate), the Schwabentorsteg winds its way up to the Schlossberg (castle hill); the Black Forest Association has created a well-developed and signposted network of hiking trails here. And if you want to find out more about the eventful history of this hilltop and the castle once built here by the famous builder Vauban: You can go on a journey through time on four themed trails of the Schlossberg (castle hill) experience with information boards and 3D peekaboo boxes.
