Half-timbered Houses of Freudenberg, Germany Dec 24, 2024

Freudenberg is a charming little town nestled in the Siegen-Wittgenstein district of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The town lies in the beautiful hilly uplands, ranging from 243 to 505 metres above sea level. The town is made up of 17 communities spread across about 55 square kilometres, two-thirds of which is lush forest, mainly broadleaf and spruce trees. The heart of Freudenberg is the "Alter Flecken," the historic old town centre, entirely made up of half-timbered houses that give it the feel of a 17th-century town.
