Heidelberg

Heidelberg occupies the northern edge of the Upper Rhine Plain, where the Neckar emerges from the Odenwald hills in Baden-Württemberg. The ruined Heidelberg Castle rises above the old town; it was a principal residence of the Electors Palatine and remains the city’s defining landmark. Below it, the Baroque Old Town follows the river toward the sandstone Old Bridge. Heidelberg University, founded in 1386, is Germany’s oldest university and gives the city its enduring academic character.
