About Frielendorf
Frielendorf is a state-recognised climatic spa of about seven thousand people, made up of a main village and fifteen smaller ones at 230 to 260 metres on the northwest edge of the Knüll range. Sights are modest: a museum shop covering the local brown coal mine, the Verna village museum, the Spießturm watchtower and the Klosterkirche in Spieskappel, consecrated in 1255. The Silbersee, a lake east of town, has a holiday resort. Our homes sit close together, mostly with a garden, and most have a sauna and a fireplace. They sleep around six in about three bedrooms, and a pool is rare. Evenings are quiet, so cooking in is the norm. In winter the Eisenberg has a ski lift with two short runs.
