Fribourg - Ramparts and Doner Kebabs.

First, the ramparts.  


As in "O'er the ramparts we watched ...."


Fribourg was established in the early 1100's.  Its Old Town is full of fountains, churches, other 12th-17th Century structures - and at the ramparts, the University of Fribourg.  The city is the capital of the canton also named Fribourg. Its medieval fortifications are among the largest in Switzerland, some 2 km of ramparts, 14 towers, and a bulwark.  See ://www.economicexpert.com/a/Fribourg:Switzerland.htm/.  Fine overview at ://www.jakobsweg.ch/en/way-james/amsoldingen-romont/city-of-fribourg.html/

The medieval town here runs from cobbled streets and squares, then up to the fortress area, where the fine university is now located.  See ://switzerland.isyours.com/e/guide/mittelland/fribourg.html/  It is an easy ride from arrival in Geneva, and after seeing Lausanne and Lucens.

Now, the food. The doner kebabs.

Doner kebeb shop, Fribourg, Switzerland

Doner kebabs:   These are Turkish, a compressed revolving angled cylinder of meat, always at the heat source, with the shopkeeper shaving off what is needed for a crusty sandwich platter with tomato, onion, lettuce and fries and sauce.

This ultimate fast food is now worldwide, and is called donair in Canada. See ://www.middleeastexplorer.com/Turkey/Doner-kebab-in-the-world/ Excellent for late afternoon (order one for two), taking the edge off so when time for dinner comes, a more economical dish will satisfy. In Greek, with the pita, a gyro. All with variations.
