Road Trip (29 April - 1 May 2006) Day 3 - Heidelberg

Last stop before the long drive home: Heidelberg, a town in Baden-Württemberg halfway between Stuttgart and Frankfurt. Since we reached there quite late, we only had time to visit the castle, which wasn't much on the inside, but quite a bit on the outside. Originally a fort, it was transformed into a castle in 1544, but damage over the years have left it in ruins.


The castle from below, yes, it's just ruins


The path up is quite steep, as always...


View from the courtyard


The palace buildings


View of the old city


I wouldn't want those to fall on me


The dry moat


Ruins, but beautiful ruins


If you know what I mean


Admit it, it's interesting nonetheless


The castle gardens


Fountain in the garden


View of the whole castle


Don't ask me why there're sheep here


The flowers are coming out


Kids playing in the park... It's Spring!!!


The humongous Heidelberg Tun, capacity of 220,017 litres!!!


I told you the road down was steep!
