Heidelberg Castle Garden is a must to see when you visit Heidelberg Castle. This walking tour is to give you some ideas on what to expect when you walk through its garden, the magnificent view of the castle from outside and the bird's eye view of the old town and the old bridge. There is a fee when one wants to enter and see the interior of the castle while it is free of cost when one wants to just walk around the garden. I always visit Heidelberg castle and its beauty is different when it is Fall season, with the autumn foliage, light rain and still manageable weather.
This is a walking tour around its garden, going down to the old bridge shot during Fall 2023.
Heidelberg Castle (German: Heidelberger Schloss) is a ruin in Germany and landmark of Heidelberg. The castle ruins are among the most important Renaissance structures north of the Alps.
The castle has only been partially rebuilt since its demolition in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is located 80 metres (260 ft) up the northern part of the Königstuhl hillside, and thereby dominates the view of the old downtown. It is served by an intermediate station on the Heidelberger Bergbahn funicular railway that runs from Heidelberg's Kornmarkt to the summit of the Königstuhl.
The earliest castle structure was built before 1214 and later expanded into two castles circa 1294; however, in 1537, a lightning bolt destroyed the upper castle. The present structures had been expanded by 1650, before damage by later wars and fires. In 1764, another lightning bolt caused a fire which destroyed some rebuilt sections.
