About this tour
This short call is a close look at farming on the edge of the Black Forest, told through one family's own land. You see photographs of the slopes and hear what has changed and what has stayed the same across generations. It is a focused conversation rather than a walk through the city.
I open with a quick sound check, then talk through the photographs and the family's history on the land before taking your questions. Afterwards I send a short note on the crops and forest management we discussed.
This suits anyone curious about rural life just outside a German city. It also works well as a quieter add-on to a Schlossberg session.
Included
- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf
- Phone or data charges from your provider
Itinerary

Hello, and what you want to know 5 min
The guide calls you and asks what you are after: planning Freiburg, recommendations, or just questions.
-
Generations on One Slope 17 min
I show photographs of the family land near the forest and explain what has been grown on each slope across several generations.
-
Your questions 5 min
Ask anything that is still on your mind, there is no fixed script.
-
A written note after the call 3 min
You get a short follow-up message with everything mentioned, so you do not have to remember it all.
Good to know

- Times are shown in Berlin time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The call is not recorded. Keep your own note of anything you want to remember, or wait for the follow-up message.
- Have your questions ready, though there is time to think of more as you go.
Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Freiburg: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
How it works
- Your guide calls the number you give at booking.
- We speak over a video call rather than walking anywhere. I have photographs and a small map of the slopes ready to show while we talk.
