Known as Germany's Silver City, Freiberg's wealth and splendour are based on its past as a mining area for silver and other precious metals. While mining is no longer the main livelihood of the locals, visitors are still encouraged to follow the silver trail to discover the hidden gems of the city. Freiburg is also one of the most significant cities in the famed Black Forest, with the mountainous backdrop and babbling brooks worthy of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale.
Start your journey at the Silver Mine to see the centuries-old mineshaft also known as the Old Elisabeth. If you want to discover more about the city's rich silver mining history, be sure to drop by the City and Mining Museum, as well.
Another magnificent landmark that you shouldn't miss is the Cathedral of St. Mary. This medieval building erected in 1180 is home to the famed Silbermann Organs and the cathedral's tolling bells. The other attractions inside the church are The Golden Gate and Funerary Chapel. If you want to enjoy live entertainment and classical music, check out the shows at Freiberger Sommernächte or Konzert-und Ballhaus Tivoli. For a true Freiberg gastronomical experience, try Ratskeller, Goldenes Prag, or Kartoffelhaus.

Passau is a German city in Lower Bavaria, located at the confluence of three rivers: the Danube, Inn, and Ilk. Known as the Three Rivers City, Passau is a popular college town with many students attending the University of Passau.
One of Passau's most famous attractions is the Veste Oberhaus, an ancient fortress dating back to the 13th century. The impressive Gothic structure today includes a museum and, due to its hilltop location, excellent views of Passau's rivers and city. St. Stephen's Cathedral, a magnificent Baroque cathedral, is also worth a stop. However, if you simply want to enjoy a stroll around the city, the square in front of the cathedral is an excellent starting place to encounter some of Passau's most beautiful architecture.
