Heidelberg by esda

I visited the town twice in short succession: in April 2007 to visit my friend Sigrid, who lives there and in June 2007 because of our annual works outing, which led us to Heidelberg this time. lol

Heidelberg is a nice, old town at the river Neckar in a valley surrounded by woods with lots of beautiful houses and places. But what impressed me most about Heidelberg was/is the Heidelberger Schloß (see my entry about that ;)), which is Germany’s most popular castle ruin. :)

I went on a 2 week trip to Europe with my University, including Madrid, Paris, Frankfurt/Heidelberg and Brussels. I loved the hospitality I was greeted with in Heidelberg. The architecture is beautiful, as is the natural landscape. I felt a sense of romance here (perhaps even more than when I was in Paris). I really felt like this is a place I must return to with someone I love! Beautiful city…

First time i went here was while on holiday with my parents. I always remembered it as a nice place.

As it is on our way between Holland and Italy, yes we drive, I suggested it as lunch brake on one of trips, to show it to my husband and kids. They loved it.

I’ve spent 10 months in Heidelberg as a student ( hurra for the Erasmus programme!). It’s such a lovely place, it doesn’t even seem real. The main street is so cute that I always had the feeling to be in Disneyland! And the University was great. It’s the one in the city center as I was a law student (I really can’t remember it’s name). I have never seen such a great library! I could spend hours just wandering in this place… Gosh, I miss Germany!
