Between Street Lines and City Wall

Those discovering Freising on foot today follow not only paths but historical lines. That is what makes this tour so appealing: even though the city gates themselves are no longer preserved, their locations and the logic of the fortifications can still be read from the cityscape. Christina Metz, referred to in official Freising offerings as an art historian and experienced city guide, connects local history with clear images and cultural-historical knowledge.
