Heidelberg Castle

After having been destroyed several times in history, it has partly been a ruin for more than 200 years. Since the 19th century that has grown the image of it to be a romantic place. Litterally lighting up this image does the Castle Lighting, which takes place three times every summer: As it is getting dark, the castle is filled with a glow of fire and a lot of smoke coming from many burning pots placed in and around the castle. (Dates in 2000: June 3, July 8, September 2.) The Lighting ends with a big firework. Map

Admission: 4DM (reduced rate 2DM) for castle yard, great more..
