Charming Heidelberg

---

CHARMING HEIDELBERG. A popular song says: "Ich hab' mein Herz in Heidelberg verloren!" Translated that means: "I have lost my heart in Heidelberg!" That certainly is true for me. Heidelberg has plenty of romantic appeal. There is the Altstadt - the oldest part of the city - with its narrow streets, some of which still sport the cobble stones over which countless horse-drawn carriages rattled in days gone by. Then there is the majestic Heidelberg Castle ruin looking down on the city, its ivy covered walls reminiscent of a glorious past. Part of the scene is the Old Bridge across the Neckar River, for many centuries the only easy access to the city from the north because it was the only bridge across the river for many kilometers up and downstream. One should not forget the Neckar River itself, the lifeblood of the city which has brought trade and prosperity to this city for hundreds of years and does so even to this day.
