Visit the castle!!! The main... by tessy
Visit the castle!!!The main street of Heidelberg is really called main street, but I like the upper street, too. The main street leads you to the Kornmarkt (nice view to the castle!!) Now you have to decide, wether to take the little train (Bergbahn), climb up the stairs or walk the steep pave stoned way up to the castle.
At the castle, have a look at the 'grosse Fass'! Do you know the story about the Fass? Well, in former times, the farmer had to pay taxes to their masters. And the taxes were paid in wine. In autumn time the farmers came up to the castle with their wine and they filled all the wine into the big 'Fass'. Imagine, how it tasted!! The quantity was much more important than the quality at this time.
Make also a guided visit in the castle!
The pharmacie museum is very nice, too!
And take great pictures from the terrasse of the castle!!!If you have enough time,begin your visit with a walk on the philosoph's path (Philosophenweg), which is just on the other site of the castle. Begin your walk near the Theodor Heuss Bruecke (bridge). Follow the path, look at the nice flowers, at the Neckar Valley and the beautiful castle! Follow the path until you arrive at the stairs leading to the Old Bridge. You enter the Old Town through the Brueckentor (citygate). Have a look on the famous monkey on the right site of the bridge! If you follow the Steingasse, you arrive just in the centre of Heidelberg, on the market with the Heilig Geist Church.
