Heidelberg Excursion!

---

Hallo!

Today we made a trip to Heidelberg with a vivid group of exchange students! IDEA (a group taking care of exchange students in Darmastadt) was our excursion host and our guide of the day, Markus, showed us around Heidelberg, the old university city.

It takes about an hours by train from Darmstadt to Heidelberg. We walked around the town for a couple of hours and had a nice picnic in the afternoon on the northern side of the city, on the river banks. Heidelberg is a charming city!! The town is located by the river Neckar and the valley area is just simply beautiful. The majestetic red sandstone Heidelberg castle is situated 100m above the city and there is a gorgeous view over the city. In the middle of the city there is a Gothic, Protestant Church called Heiliggeistkirche (Holy Ghost Church). The tower of the church is open for the public and I climbed there to take some pictures. The view from the chuch tower was absolutely beautiful, although I have to say climbing there was not an easy task...

We had a picnic lunch on the river banks, about 50 m above the city. View from there is breathtaking!

Heidelberg has a vivid town centre with many shopping possibilities. Its market plaza is full of little shops, restaurants and cafes. A perfect place for a short or long time dining and shopping. 😊
