May 15, 2009
Where you select destination when you visit to Germany? Berlin? Munich? Hmmm…. I recommend to pause your desire first to go there. Change your direction by taking the plane to Frankfurt to go to Heidelberg. With your willingness to spend the trip for one hour, and you will be met with the super-romantic scenery in this developed technology country. Heidelberg is a reasonable degree, with a location in the Neckar river bank and has pink palace as “accessory” it. This old city with Medieval style is perhaps the beginning of Mark Twain travel in Europe, which was then in a book entitled A tramp Abroad. Heidelberg is mix between classic and modern.
When you visit to Heidelberg, You must visit to Heidelberg Castle which is located on the top of the hill is almost 100 meters above the Old Town. This pink castle was built in 13th century with gothic-style architecture and the Renaissance. Around this palace there is a beautiful park called Great VAT (Grosses Fass). Perhaps, Goethe, German poet famous, frequently visited the park in 1814-1815, so his statue also made in the middle of the garden. Come to this garden at night, when the Old Town and Castle highlighted lights, it will look so very romantic! In the garden there is largest wine barrel in the world (measuring 8.2 meters long and 7.3 meters high, with 209,503 liters), which built in 1751, and Pharmacy museums. If you have extra energy, Take the funicular up to Kornmarkt’s castle, and climb to the top of a steep hill Königstuhl. From there you can view spectacular of Heidelberg town. During sunny weather, you can see up to Mannheim and Karlsruhe city. Read more
