Freudenstadt
In the middle of the Black Forest lies Freudenstadt, the forest’s capital. With its 23,500 inhabitants, the town offers a unique combination of nature and urban living. There are more than 200 shops around Germany's largest market square, as well as the Reichsstraße and the newly developed Boulevard 28. The city offers a multitude of shopping opportunities. You can also find a wealth of culture, including concerts, musicals, and theatre performances, unique to the region for both the variety and standard. If you prefer peace and quiet in nature, take a short walk to the unspoilt forests on the edge of the national park. Be it hiking, mountain biking, or winter sports - sports lovers will find a perfectly curated network of trails.
City inside, wilderness outside!
