Betty BBQ presents: STOCKY’S BÄCHLE WALK
The Bächleputzer City Tour – with Stocky, the original Bächleputzer !
Freiburg has a lot to offer – and the Freiburg “Bächle” are certainly one of the biggest landmarks of the city in Breisgau. They are a world-renowned tourist attraction unique to the Southwest’s “Sun City”. It is undisputed: The Freiburger Bächle belong to Freiburg like the Minster and the Black Forest, without them no city tour and no travel guide can do.
The Freiburg Bächle as a historical irrigation and drainage system – an innovation from and in the Middle Ages – are the workplace of Alain, our real “Bächleputzer”, who is affectionately called “Stocky” by the people of Freiburg. As a Bächle cleaner , he keeps an eye on the many watercourses from the Middle Ages that run through the historic center of the Black Forest metropolis in Baden every day. The small canals are called “Bächle” in the Alemannic dialect – and Alemannic is also Stocky’s mother tongue.
During the Bächle walk with our Stocky , it will take you – mind you in its Alemannic dialect – on a walk through the old town of Freiburg along selected Bächle. He gives exclusive insights behind the scenes of the Bächle system and what is probably the oldest profession in the city in Breisgau, that of cleaning the Bächle.
Stocky is sure to have one or the other anecdote from his experiences from his everyday work – which sometimes makes you smile – as well as from many centuries of Bächle stories in his luggage!
And all this only exclusively in the city tour program of Freiburg’s “living sight”, Black Forest Drag Queen Betty BBQ. Have fun!
Known from TV and radio!
