Heidelberg

 (January 27, 2014)

On a beautiful winter's day we drove to the college town of Heidelberg to visit the ruined castle overlooking the city.

walking through town



Heidelberg castle was originally built in the 1200's, but has been partially destroyed several times from fire and wars.  The last destruction of the castle was from a lightning bolt that started a fire and it wasn't rebuilt.
