Best restaurants near Schwarzwald Stadion?

You are in the heart of Germany, right next to the famous Black Forest – you should definitely try some traditional German food whilst you are in town. Both Goldener Anker and Hausbraueri specialise in German cuisine and both do it very very well – think Schnitzel beyond your wildest dreams! Their competition has meant that the quality of food just keeps getting better.From personal experience, I know that decent Mexican food is hard to find whilst travelling about, however in Freiburg, you won't have that problem. Yepa Yepa is a cracking restaurant that serves up plates of Nachos, sizzling Fajitas and stacked Burritos with aplomb!

Schwarzwald Stadion seating?

The seating arrangements are very much how you would expect them to be. The hardcore home fans are found behind the North Stand and create a heck of an atmosphere! There are both standing and seated areas here – with the lower tier being devoted to standing room tickets – and for just €13, the terraces are packed every match day. The stadium was last expanded in 1999 and this means that some of the pitfalls that come with older stadiums are present here. Seats at the back of the home stand are partially covered by the roof and there are supporting pillars than can obstruct the view.However – it is just like a club like Freiburg to give their most recent and best stand (South) to visiting fans! Also with standing and seating areas, the two-tiered stand is open and has unrestricted views!The East Stand also suffers from a low hanging roof, so the best views are to be found in the West Stand – prices here reflect that with tickets costing around €40

Best Food and Drink at Schwarzwald Stadion?

The food and drink at SC Freiburg is similar to the sort of food you will find in Kiosks up and down the country. That isn't to say that it isn't of a great quality though! As well as being a very green and eco-friendly club – Freiburg take pride in the food that they serve with the Bratwurst's and Kebabs being some of the tastiest in the Bundesliga. You are in Germany after all – so wash it all down with a great beer, or some local wine – you get a bit cup of it so why not!

What to expect from the Schwarzwald Stadion crowd?

The fans are full of enthusiasm about where the club is going as well as very welcoming to visitors!

Best Insider tip at Schwarzwald Stadion?

How do I get to Schwarzwald Stadion?

The stadium is found nearly 5km away from the city centre – so unless you have got a lot of time on your hands then walking isn't really advisable! Neither unfortunately is driving – there isn't an official car park as such and most of the street parking is for residents with permits only! I fyou do bring a car, your best bet is to park at the College of Education for a few Euro's and use the Park and Ride Scheme.The method that most fans use to get to the Schwarzwald Stadion is the Number 1 Tram. Take it from the train station or from other places around town and ride until Römerhof station. From there, the stadium is just a 10-minute walk away. The tram system can get very busy after the game however as this is the only real way to get to the ground.
