Fraiburgo

Fraiburgo is a municipality in Santa Catarina situated at 1,048 meters elevation across varied terrain dotted with extensive apple orchards and forests. The landscape features a mix of organized agricultural land and natural areas that define the character of the settlement.

German and Italian immigrants founded this settlement in 1937, transforming a remote forest area into an organized community. Agricultural development has been the foundation of growth ever since its establishment.

The Museu Casa da Cultura Lydia Frey displays exhibits about local heritage and shows how residents have preserved agricultural practices and immigrant traditions over time. The museum tells the story of people who shaped daily life through their work and customs in this settlement.

The municipality connects to major Brazilian cities through highway BR-116, making it accessible for most visitors. The nearest regional airport is located in a nearby city for those arriving by air.

This region produces roughly two-fifths of Brazil's apple harvest, establishing itself as a major cultivation center. Visitors can observe the extensive plantations that dominate the landscape and reflect the area's economic focus.
