Schwabentor.

"This "Schwabian Gate" is at the southeast corner of the Old Town. It was first built around the year 1200, and has been redesigned several times since then. What you can do here is lock your bike to one of the bicycle stands, walk across the covered bridge to the other side of the road and from there climb up the hill called the Schloßberg." – virtualtourist.com

The cathedral in Freiburg.

"Visitors to Freiburg, the "capital of the Black Forest", quickly discover a friendly town blessed with abundant sunshine. The attractive old quarter has twisting lanes, pretty courtyards, little streams known as "Bächle", traditional restaurants and quaint bars. Towering over everything is the minster with its unique spire. Freiburg is an understandably popular choice for wine connoisseurs and gourmets. No other major German town has so many vineyards within its boundaries." – German Tourist Board
