Heidelberg
October 7, 2019 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
Auch in unserer letzten Unterkunft werden wir mit einem leckeren Frühstück verwöhnt. Liana entschied sich heute Morgen für Cornflakes😂 gits jo gar nöd... echt jetzt??? Aber ganz egal. Hauptsache happy😀...
Heidelberg liegt am Neckar. Die Stadt ist bekannt für die altehrwürdige Universität, die im 14. Jahrhundert gegründet wurde. Die Heiliggeistkirche überragt den von Cafés gesäumten Marktplatz inmitten der Altstadt. Die roten Sandsteinruinen des Heidelberger Schlosses sind ein bekanntes Beispiel für die Architektur der Renaissance und stehen auf dem Hügel Königstuhl. Mit der BERGBAHN!!! ging es hoch auf 548 m.ü.M😂 von dort gab es eine superschöne Aussicht auf Heidelberg. Auch schön, die alte Brücke mit ihrem Tor, die über den Neckar führt. Sie gehört zu den bekanntesten Sehenswürdigkeiten und Wahrzeichen Heidelbergs. Sie wird rege für den Fußgänger- und Radverkehr genutzt.
Auch diese Stadt bietet schöne Möglichkeiten zum Flanieren, Spazieren, Einkaufen, Regionales zu geniessen oder Historisches zu entdecken.Read more

Day5
Heidelberg Palace
July 17 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Free birthday breakfast at the hotel this morning, courtesy of a kind member of hotel staff, which was lovely. We then headed out by train to Heidelberg for a day trip. As we walked along the Necker, a triathlon was taking part on the opposite bank, with loads of swimmers in the river.

Heidelberg was beautiful. Set in the hills either side of the Necker, the beautiful and unique architecture of each of the house are overshadowed by the ruined palace. The town centre is equally picturesque, with narrow, cobbled streets lined with old, shuttered buildings. We passed by the Heidelberg University jail, where unruly students were held four four centuries!

From the town centre, we headed up the (steep!) hill towards the ruined palace and its terrace gardens. Even early in the morning it was very hot, and the hill took a while to climb! The view from the terrace was stunning, looking back down the valley, over Heidelberg and back towards Mannheim.

Inside the palace, we popped into the German Apothecary Museum and the Grand Tun, a phenomenally large wine barrel! As an unexpected bonus, included in the ticket was a trip on the funicular railway, so we hopped up one stop before heading back to the main town.Read more

Day5
Heidelberg
July 17 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
We found a beer and food festival in the town, with lovely musical accompaniment froma chap singing 'Lola' on his guitar to a full African-style choir. Crossing the Old Bridge over the river, we climbed nearly 200 steps to the Philosophers Way, before heading to the station to train back to Mannheim. By the afternoon the temperature was sweltering!

In Mannheim, we wandered to Luisenpark to see the Chinese Pagoda, without realising that it was a part of a huge, fenced-off park with payable entrance, and we circumnavigated almost the whole park before we found out! So tired and hot, we grabbed a tram back to the hotel.

Day11
Heidelberg
August 23, 2021 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
University town with the oldest university in Germany, founded in the 14th century. Heidelberg is an important center for science (especially research) and the arts (especially literature). This was the capital of the Electorate of the Palatinate, now part of Baden-Württemburg state.
The 1st picture looks across the River Neckar to Heidelberg with the ruins of the castle above the town. The 2nd picture looks back from the terrace at the castle over Heidelberg.
The 3rd picture is of the town hall on the market square, the center of town. Along one side is the main shopping street in town which is a 1.6 km pedestrian street and is shown in the 4th picture.
The 5th picture is the old city gate at the end of the old city bridge. The past picture is the old university building, now a museum.Read more

Day25
Heidelberg
June 28, 2018 in Germany ⋅ 🌙 18 °C

Another loud American guy at breakfast (sorry, Sadie, I know not all Americans are loud, but there are a few!). He was big, heavy guy with a grey beard who was holding up the queue, eating as he was going. ‘Mmm… these bread rolls are so fresh and delicious, you must bake them on the premises.’ ‘Nein’ said the expressionless waitress, ‘I gets them from ze Lidl’.

My train trip this morning from Cologne left from the main station in the shadow of the huge, gothic Cologne Cathedral. I remember making Mum and Dad climb to the very top of it. Not sure if even I could do it now. Pleased to see the station has still the same advert for 4711 Eau de Cologne which I first saw on a school trip in the 1960s. Had a lovely train journey down the Rhine valley passing castles and pleasure boats, the Lorelei Rock and charming riverside towns. On the way I thought I’d read some guest reviews of my next hotel. One said: ‘The staff are so friendly. I had an unexpected early visit from Aunt Flo, and the staff gave me some free sanitary products.’ Now, I didn’t know who Aunt Flo was, but I do now, and all I can say is ‘TOO MUCH INFORMATION!’

Before I knew it, I had arrived at today’s destination - Heidelberg. I remember Sadie and Christine were here. It was just like The Student Prince with students drink, drink, drinking beer - only Kathy was missing. Did a 2 hour walking tour of the Old Town as suggested in my guide, which was hard going in the sweltering heat. Took the funicular railway up to the top of the mountain and visited the castle on the way back. The guide suggested another walk on the opposite bank of the River Neckar - the Philosopher’s Way - where lecturers used to walk up and down. It was so steep it nearly killed me, but you did get a good view over to the castle. Tonight I attended a classical concert in the lovely Stadthalle. No less than 90 musicians in the philharmonic orchestra - what a fabulous sound, and not bad for 20 Euros for the front circle.

Well the carousing in the town has gone strangely quiet tonight now that Germany has been put out of the World Cup. Anyway, after all that walking I’m sure I’ll sleep tonight…zzzz...Read more

Ooh. I was brought up on listening to John Hanson in the Student Prince (and Desert Song). That was my introduction to the operatic life 😀

I love the music from these shows, Pamela - it’s a pity they’re never done. I think Campbell was the last person to play the Red Shadow in Glasgow.

4711. Took me back to my young days. My aunt always used this perfume and on a visit I was treated to some. Only thing was, my aunt pretended to put some on her finger and put behind my ears! So never actually got a chance to sample it lol. You are having such a great time by the sounds of things. X
