Heidelberg Castle


Here are some photos from a recent trip to Heidelberg.

We only had a few days there - mostly filled with business activity but the weather was perfect.

The ruins in the background of this photo include a tower with 7m walls (wall thickness of about 21 feet). Half of this tower was destroyed by undermining the walls with packed gunpowder.

This castle also holds the largest wine barrel ever made (58,000 gallon capacity.)
