Heidelberg

Heidelberg is an old college town on the Necker River, dominated by the ruins of a castle. Between natural disasters and the French army, the castle has had some issues, and was largely abandoned 300 years ago. The ruins provide a great view of the city below and still feature some fascinating sculptures that provide great roosts for pigeons.


Heidelberg was the scene of a failed attempt to produce silk. The silkworms are gone, but the juicy mulberries remain.
