Heidelberg |
Heidelberg is a gem in Baden-Württemberg. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany, perhaps due to the fact that it was never bombed by the allies in World War II. The main sight in Heidelberg is a castle, but the French turned it into a ruin in the 17th century. Today, only 140,000 people live in the town, so it is rather a small city. The university of the city was founded very early (1386), so early that it was the first one in Germany. The Hauptstraße is the main shopping street in the city. We visited Heidelberg on 2 January 2006, and there was hardly any snow to be seen! |
