Heidelberg is a very old city with the oldest university in Germany dating back to 1386. The city sits on a major river which over the centuries has been a big trade route, the Neckar River which joins the Rhine River not far away. The massive ruins of the Heidelberg Castle over looks the city.
With Ward and Karen Anderson, we joined a tour around the castle grounds. The fellow in the denim jacket and black beanie was our guide and provided an very informational and humorous tour.
Germans of this time period loved their big game mounts. This one was particularly interesting since it was turned into wall art and not just a mount. Hmmm, great idea for our living room after our mission.
Locals call this bridge, the "new bridge", after all its only 200 years old.
Good to see that Big & Tall armor was available in medieval times.
Pretty cool sculpture of David and Goliath
The town square of Heidelberg was typical of a lot of German towns, but the big castles ruins on the hill makes this unique.
