Kanonenplatz is a small historical plateau on Freiburg’s Schlossberg with antique cannons, stone walls and sweeping panoramas over the Altstadt, Rhine valley and Black Forest. Free and easily reached by the Schlossbergbahn or steep steps, it’s best at golden hour and after sunset for city lights. Weekday mornings are quieter; no entry fee, limited parking in town. Weather can be windy—dress accordingly.
