Amber's Journal
Day 2: Today was our tour of the semiruined Heidleburg Castle. It was partially blown up by the Palantine princes of Heidleburg to keep it from falling into enemy hands—“If I can’t have it, neither will you!” What still stands is indeed regal, and the two largest casks for wine are owned by this castle. Apparently there was somewhat of a fad to own the largest wine cask in Germany, and Heidleburg was the clear winner. One of the members of our tour had just completed school to become a pharmacist, and what did Heidelburg castle have but a lovely apothecary museum? After the castle, we wandered around the city with Mom for a bit and did a bit more shopping in the historic district. |
