Two weeks ago I made a short trip to Freiburg, southern Germany right next to the borders to Switzerland and France.
I was really looking forward to taking some pictures but except for the last day and one hour of the first it was raining non-stop. Because of that I was not very motivated to take pictures but I'll post those that I took nevertheless.
I have been to Freiburg in summer before and it's a totally different city in summer compared to winter. If not for the snowy hills sourrounding the town winter would be hard to bear.
I could have taken way more intersting pictures in these very charming and lively city but sadly I only had about 2 and a half hours but hopefully I’ll be back soon with a better camera. This city deserves it.
Walking towards the city centre from the central station.
Even though Oldenburg is just 2 hours away by train I have never been there yet. I also have not heard very much about this city, it kinda flies under the radar.
The city absolutely surprised me though. Not only is Oldenburg beautiful it also has a very vibrant and nice atmosphere.
There are canals going through the city, a beautiful yellow castle, a university with 12.000 students enrolled and the city also has a wonderful modern museum.
The popultaion of Oldenburg is 160.000 and the city of Bremen that has a poputaion of more than half a million is only 45 Kilometers away.
