Our first stop will be at the Heidelberg Castle ruins high above the valley and landmark of the city. The castle has been the residence of the mighty electors for a period of five hundred years and is an epitome of German Romanticism. We visit the large, impressing courtyard with its medieval residential buildings, the magnificent Renaissances facades and larger than life-size statues of the Friedrichs Building and the imposing Ottheinrichs Building. From the large terrace you will enjoy a fantastic panorama view over historic Heidelberg. In the cellar vaults we show you the largest wooden wine barrels worldwide.
