What the heck is a "bachle"? It is simply a waterway that runs along many streets in Freiburg. It has a lot of history and gives Freiburg something very unique. The locals say that if you accidentally step in, then you need to marry a nice Freiburg girl! More

The first day we were in Freiburg these little streams weren't running, but by the second day, they were running quite strongly. What a charming addition to an already charming town. More

The little brooks which are found running through a number of streets are charming, but remember to watch where you're walking! Turned ankles hurt in any language, and worse, you could take a spill. More
