This forest walk around the WaldHaus Freiburg combines nature experience, local history, and in-depth knowledge of the city forest into a compact discovery experience. On Wednesday, 08.07.2026, the tour will take place from 17:00 to 19:00 in one of the quietest and most exciting sides of Freiburg.
Between Forest Edge, Knowledge, and Overview
The walk offers a vivid insight into sustainable forest management, the recreational function of the forest, and its significance for nature, species, and climate protection. The speaker is Albrecht Franke, retired forestry director, who conveys these topics with professional authority and many years of experience. This combination of expertise and immediate nature experience makes the walk a cultural enrichment for guests who want to not only see Freiburg but understand it.
A Place Where Freiburg Takes a Deep Breath
The starting point is the WaldHaus Freiburg at Wonnhaldestraße 6. The surroundings are shaped by the city forest, the scent of moist earth, and the interplay of light, shadow, and quiet paths.
