Nestled in the southwest of Germany on the edge of the famed Black Forest, and known as one of the sunniest spots in Germany, Freiburg is a place where thousands of people drive, take the train and otherwise find their way to enjoy a couple of relaxing days. Lying in a secluded, wine-rich corner of the German state of Baden-Württemberg, Freiburg is known for good weather and vineyards and is a desirable place to visit or indeed to live. Also, due to its geography (a border triangle of Germany, France, and Switzerland) and being fairly removed from any larger German cities, locals will frequently go shopping in France and Switzerland for their respective native products and go to museums and theaters in Basel or Zürich. The feeling in the air is relaxed, carefree, multicultural and welcoming.

Freiburg is also home to one of Germany’s oldest universities, Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg. I love the accompanying youthful presence that adds to the city’s overall atmosphere and energy.
