Freiburg Minster<br />
Built around 1200 to 1513, the Gothic-style<br />
116-metre cathedral is the distinctive landmark<br />
of the city of Freiburg and one of the most striking<br />
churches in the Black Forest. The nave and tower<br />
were completed around 1330 and were followed<br />
by the construction of the choir and other<br />
extensions with several lengthy interruptions. The<br />
tower of the Minster, the only Gothic church tower<br />
in Germany, was completed in the Middle Ages<br />
and is described on occasion as 'the most beautiful<br />
tower in Christendom'. The tower can be climbed<br />
by visitors and the look-out platform provides a<br />
wonderful view of the city.<br />
Triberg Waterfall<br />
The highly-accessible Triberg Falls are 163 metres<br />
or 534 feet tall and descend in seven cascades or<br />
steps. A magnificent spectacle of nature and with<br />
a total vertical drop of 496 feet, the falls stand<br />
over 1,000 feet shorter than the tallest waterfall<br />
in Germany, the Röthbachfall. We advise a trip<br />
during the summer when the water is lukewarm<br />
and sun's rays brings about a nice colour to the<br />
vast green surroundings!<br />
Black Forest Open Air Museum<br />
near Gutach<br />
The Black Forest Open Air Museum is a forum<br />
for the entire Black Forest region. It carries out<br />
research projects and explores the cultural<br />
heritage and development of all rural areas in the<br />
Black Forest region. In addition, the museum<br />
collects and preserves for the future important<br />
cultural assets from the region to ensure that the<br />
people of the region and visitors can access and<br />
experience these collections. The museum is also<br />
built around the Vogtsbauernhof farmstead. It is<br />
the only farm building around the Black Forest<br />
Open Air Museum, which still stands on its original<br />
site since it was built in 1612.<br />
