Heidelberg Schloss Again

Here, another day of my life was spent visiting the beautiful Heidelberg Castle remains. This day I enjoyed the surroundings with my sister, Kim. It was a cold and lovely December day, and after getting lost for a bit on the roads, we managed to find the castle in time for the English tour.

Our guide was the best so far of all the guides I've had in my four visits here. He was detailed and seemed to take great interest and pride in the history of the grounds and of Heidelberg itself.

Here, we found the bath house made for the young wife, Elizabeth, in the yard of the backside of the castle. A few steps beyond, and we came upon the next view below.



Following the path, it lead to the outer walls and gardens to the estate, and lead to this view from the side, that will continue to the road and woods.

The inner courtyard was quiet and serene when we arrived. They had a Christmas tree displayed, only adorned with simple white Christmas lights. The beautiful facade of the ladies' quarters shown in the morning sun, and I got a fantastic photo of it below. The statues here are of the family members of the Palinate Elector and those who married into the family.
