About Lorettoberg
The southern hill viewpoint reached by tram 3, offering an open vista across Freiburg toward the Vosges Mountains without the forest obstruction of Schlossberg. The Lorettokapelle chapel dates to 1657 and commemorates a 1644 battle. This side of the city sees far fewer tourists despite equally impressive views.
Insider Tips
Locals prefer this viewpoint for sunset because you face west toward the Vosges, while Schlossberg faces east toward the Black Forest.
