Heidelberg


 
Heidelberg, famed for it's scenic castle. The whole town really is quite pretty, in a slightly unremarkable way. I think I this point I had become desensitised to Germanic beauty. The town is fabulous really, but we had only a few hours, so we concentrated on the Schloß.

 
This I thought was quite spectacular. I couldn't take a picture that did it justice really. One of the rear towers of the Schloß had split in half, probably due to subsidence. The broken off half sits on the ground, a little lower than the still attached half.

 
The sun setting was quite brilliant, blinding us as we retreated down the main street to the car.
