Heidelburg, Germany

Heidelburg Castle - set against the deep green forests on the north flank of Königstuhl hill, the red sandstone ruins tower majestically over the Neckar valley. From its lofty position, the castles silhouette dominates the old town centre of Heidelberg.
The rich and eventful history of Heidelberg Castle began when the counts palatine of the Rhine, – later prince electors – established their residence at Heidelberg. First mentioned in 1225, this was destined to become one of the grandest castles of the Renaissance.

 

A favorite treat of the trip....ice cream, waffle bubble cone, candy.

Another prayer in the Cathedral.
