bachle

水渠是弗赖堡非常有特色的景观，在城市许多地方都能看到，当地人称为Bächle。弗赖堡自中世纪以来一直使用这种沿街而建的水渠系统，以引流路面多余的积水，水渠的水还可以用来扑灭火灾。水渠也是无处不在的游乐园。

是指流经石头铺就的道路的小水路，这是从莱茵河疏导过来的防火用水。这座城市的水资源很丰富，所以在旧城区到处看到小水路。水很干净，有些孩子在那儿玩水。有水就不感到枯燥，水灵灵的，给城市风景增加情趣。

I don't think this is an attraction ! it is a remarkable thing for Freiburg I agree however not an attraction. Anyhow it is a nice pleaseant thing. waiting for summer to see people placing their feet in it and playing with the guitar

The medieval water drains of this city are better enjoyed while listening to a local guide. You can stroll around the city inner core, follow the bachle and hear very nice old stories about the city and the use it's citizens make of this drains during the summer.

You will encounter the bachle upon a stroll through the old town, and while being careful not to fall in, they give a real identity to Freiburg.

Not at all sure that they can be described as an attraction, but they are pretty unique I suppose. Really need to be aware of them when wandering the streets, any unexpected distraction could result in a fall. Good to see something different, though.

Read about these little water channels before my visit to Freiburg then forgot all about them till I saw them all over the town. Part of the history but could also be a hazard to the unwary pedestrian

One of the unique features of the city of Freiburg are the Bachle. A leftover from the old ages, the Bachle are nothing more then very clean ditches that carries water throughout the city. A rather lengthy tripping hazard, the summer time reveals alternative use for these ditches. An impromptu playground for pets and children, the Bachle can be a source for some funny entertainment. You don't need to make special travel plans to see the Bachle as they are located throughout the old town.

I don't know how these drains got listed as an attraction. I found them more of a hazard. However we did see one dog that couldn't keep out of them, so I suppose he found them attractive.

The Bächle are generally small shallow gutters that run throughout Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany), carrying water from the Dreisam river. They are a great asset to the city in summer, providing a play thing for children, a cool place to stick ones hot feet after shopping or while drinking a beer and an often used as impromptu dog baths. They are also a menace to unaware pedestrians who can often be seen falling into them and cursing. This is so common in fact that a local legend states that if you fall in to the Bächle you must marry someone from Freiburg. One year the ex-chancellor Helmut Kohls car was driven into one while he was visiting the Pope, leading to an embarrassing scene. These Bächle are a nice feature of a nice city, but I would not fly all the way form Australia for example, just to see them, they are just not exciting enough.

This is the most underwhelming "point of interest" I've ever seen!! It's just a drain system that runs through the old city. Sure, I get that it's historic, but not the kind of thing anyone would take photos of and write home about.

The so called "Bachle" are little water canals that run through the entire city centre. Originally, they were built to get strong smells and wastewater out of the city. Today, they create a wonderful atmosphere and a nice offer in summer to keep your feet cool :)

Freiburgs "Bächle" (small rivers) are a must see. But be carefull, if you step in on of the Bächle you have to marry a person from Freiburg ;)

They are just water canals in the very heart of the city. They used to be used in the past to water plants, put out fires and water their animals. Now they are not needed, but they create a beautiful sound when walking downtown. Lots of people use it to refresh their feet during summer.

Hot temperatures (+35 Celsius) are usually not the best set-up for making city trips or longer walks. In Freiburg its different: Those little "rivers" in the cities kept our kids occupied for many hours letting us parents do some shopping, sight seeing etc. We also bought some small hand-made wooden boots that they would let run down the "Baechles" . So much fun for them, so much piece for us.
