Don’t miss these highlights!
Freudenstadt’s market square is the largest enclosed market square in Germany and, with its 50 water fountains, serves as a lively meeting place for visitors of all ages.
The town church, built in 1601, impresses with its two towers and a mix of architectural styles. From Renaissance arches to medieval Gothic windows and even historic gargoyles, every detail tells a story.
The town's nearest mountain, Kienberg, is a fantastic hiking destination. Climb the Friedrichsturm tower for sweeping views over the city, or explore Germany’s highest rose trail, home to over 1,000 wild and historic shrub roses.
