Exploring Hirschberg (my hometown)

We have been exploring around Hirschberg, where Daniel lives, it is a very sheltered village at the foot of the Odenwald (mountain range). It is a small town, with an agricultural history, mainly tobacco growing, it has many medieval half-timbered houses, churches, farmyards, barns and tobacco drying buildings. Now it's predominantly vineyards, some orchards and strawberry fields, along with the old and new town buildings. The buildings are very well looked after, which is no mean feat, as in the old town they are about 500 years old.
There is a tram line at the bottom of the gentle slope which the village of Hirschberg is on, the tram usually runs every 20 minutes, and travels North to Weinheim and South to Heidelberg. Daniel works at the beginning of Heidelberg and his vineyard is on a slope halfway between Hirschberg and Heidelberg.Read more
