Hike

It was while walking in the hills surrounding Freiburg that Ferdinand von Lindermann discovered his celebrated proof of the transcendence of π, thus settling the question of squaring the circle studied by Greek geometers more than two millennia earlier.

On Wednesday afternoon we propose a hike in these same hills. When the weather is clear, there are impressive views of the Black Forest to the east, and the Kaiserstuhl wine region to the north-west.

Party! Dine!

Tuesday evening: Apero

You are invited for drinks from 17-19 at FRIAS Lounge.
