At the heart of the city stands the cathedral. On the square at the foot of this awe-inspiring gothic building is the daily market. If you walk from the hotel in the southeast direction, you will reach the city gate known as the “Schwabentor”. Here, you can enjoy the special charm of the “Oberlinden”, “Insel”, “Gerberau” and “Fischerau” sections. A short walk across the shady Adelhauser church square will take you back to the hotel. Note the bronze “Stumbling Stones” embedded in the sidewalk in front of the Alleehaus and throughout Freiburg: they commemorate the Jewish inhabitants who used to live in Freiburg.
