The river and the castle


Heidelberg. One of the most beautiful towns we have ever visited. And the locals are really kind and helpful.

When you go, visit the castle and find the big barrel. There is a sign "zum grossen fass".

Did you know that the University of Heidelberg used to have a student prison (studentenkarzer), where they condemned students for misbehavior like womanizing, drinking etc? Apparently the locals don't. A taxi driver told us: "Student prison? We have a prison but it's for all the people". After some search a greek student told us where it is. Unfortuanatelly it was closed...
