What to expect
Schloss Heidelberg
1h
Our joint adventure begins at the central meeting point at the Castle Visitor Center. From here we set off to bring the stone witnesses of the past to life. First, the path leads us to the elegant English building, whose magnificent architecture speaks of great times. Here you get a first impression of the moving history of this imposing facility.
A few steps later, we stand before the romantic Elizabeth Gate – a legendary stone testament to love that will immediately captivate you. Here you feel the deep romance that makes this place so unique. It continues to the monumental, blown-up cabbage tower. Its mighty walls whisper dramatic stories of destruction and endurance to us. We pause to let the impressive energy of this historic place affect us.
