Freiburg is also known for local wine,and Alixe Winter knows all about wine. The manager of an association of wine growers,she takes us on a tour of her favorite places in Freiburg.Alixe Winter works in the 'Alte Wache' in the heart of Freiburg,right on the cathedral square. As the company's business manager,she represents 30 winegrowers in Baden who have formed an association. Alixe Winter comes from a wine-growing family in Kaiserstuhl,one of Germany's best known wine regions,and was once crowned Baden's wine queen. She has chosen to live in Freiburg and says it could be called the secret capital of Baden wine. But the city is also known for its lifestyle and culture,which makes it an ideal place to work and live.
A trip to the countryside - in the heart of the city
Alixe Winter's first suggestion takes us to the banks of the Dreisam. The river flows right through the city and feeds the famous streams that flow throughout the old city. One of her favourite walks,it takes us past the Dreisam Ufercafé ,a good place to relax at any time of year.
Rendezvous with Baden's cuisine
Visitors to the gourmet restaurant in the Colombi luxury hotel can enjoy gourmet cuisine in three differently furnished rooms. Award-winning chef Alfred Klink is one of Germany's top chefs and been working at the Colombi for almost 30 years. Alixe Winter recommends the nostalgic Hans Thoma parlor,with its late 18th century farmhouse furnishings. 
Panoramic views with a historic backdrop
Alixe Winter's third recommendation for a visit to Freiburg is the Jesuitenschloss in Merzhausen,just two kilometers from the city center. She tells us that she loves the bird's eye view of Freiburg up here,the landscape from the Black Forest to the Voges mountains,with views over Breisgau,the Tuniberg and as far as the Kaiserstuhl.
