When to go to Freiburg?
Bächle, narrow water channels, run along the kerbs of nearly every street in Freiburg's old town, a habit older than plumbing that still cools the paving in summer. Above them, the minster's openwork spire tapers to a point over the market square. Ride up the Schlossberg and the Black Forest opens out, fir-covered and close enough to walk into.
