Fribourg

Built around the Sarine River and the medieval city of Fribourg, Fribourg developed into a bilingual Swiss canton where French and German meet. The Sarine cuts a deep bend beneath the old town, whose Gothic Cathedral of St Nicholas is a defining landmark. To the south, the Prealps rise toward the Gruyère district, known worldwide for Gruyère AOP cheese; northward, the canton reaches Lake Murten and Lake Neuchâtel. Medieval towns, dairy farming and university life give this part of western Switzerland a distinct rhythm. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Fribourg.
