Day 6: April 22, 2025
We drive across the French-German border to the pretty town of Heidelberg, home to Germany's oldest university. After a lunch break, we take the inclined elevator up to the hill above the city and visit the impressive Heidelberg Castle. The views over the city and the Neckar river are fantastic, and there is also the extensive park, the huge wine barrel from the World Exhibition and the German Pharmacy Museum to explore. After stocking up on snacks for the evening in a small local supermarket, we drive to our hotel just outside Heidelberg, where we also have dinner.
