From the Heart of the Old Town up to Weihenstephan: a city walk with Freising's history to touch

This public city tour connects Freising's historic Old Town with the traditional Weihenstephan Hill for an impressive discovery experience. Along the way, visitors follow the traces of the city’s history, experience the transition over the former Freising-Bavarian state border, and immerse themselves in the special atmosphere of one of the culturally most exciting walks in the cathedral city.

Old Town, Border, and Living History

The tour starts in the Old Town and leads step by step to areas where Freising's past can still be read today. Especially impressive is the path over the historic border area that has shaped the city's development for centuries. This is where the strength of a good city guide unfolds: places become stories, paths become history, and architecture becomes living cultural heritage.

Palace Garden, Apothecary Garden, and the Quiet Side of the City

Along the Palace Garden and the Apothecary Garden, a green, almost contemplative perspective on Freising opens up. Between well-maintained facilities, historical traces, and the gentle transitions at Weihenstephan Hill, a walk emerges that connects experiences of nature and cultural knowledge. The route thus offers not only sights but also those quiet moments that make a tour particularly memorable.

Weihenstephan: Brewing Culture, Monastic Heritage, and Identity

On the southern slope of Weihenstephan Hill, the history of the former Benedictine monastery comes to the forefront. The proximity to the Bavarian State Brewery Weihenstephan makes clear how closely spiritual tradition, science, and brewing culture are interwoven in Freising. The tour leads into an environment that stands for local history, authenticity, and lived brewing tradition.
