A cold for me but from good to he was referring to heidelberg in southwestern germany this romantic city has a chance that many writers and painters lets see whether it casts its spell on me too. The old bridge is actually very romantic it leads across the neck a river to the old town. Right next to the bridge gate we find this bronze monkey its a much photographed landmark of title back. What does this monkey want to tell us that we are as ugly as he is and thats why he holds a mirror up to us but he also has an enticing promise anyone who touches the mirror will become rich allegedly that is and those who touch his fingers will return to hide back. So it seems ill be revisiting hydel back then. Of course Heidelberg Castle is high on my list of things to do. Also on the show our weekly vimeo comes this time from the frosty destination the antarctic. And in our series meet a local georgette who just shows us around her hometown abu dhabi. From hile back sold its a steep climb up to the castle the number one tourist attraction in this small city on the neck a river. Back castro has been intentionally kept as a ruin because its there really look creates a special atmosphere and if i take a look around i have to say the poets and tourists have every right to be impressed. That. The council is titled there it is crowning jewel a must see for romantics and millions of tourists. And french troops destroyed it during their occupation of the city in the 17th century the remains were on the brink of collapse until a savior arrived. Come upon saws in the height of. The guy that was a refugee from the french revolution and he was horrified how can we use this council as a quarry and we had to preserve it but he insisted that it be kept as a rule and arguing that in this state it symbolized the very notion of romance. Last. Month which was. Only a small portion of the council was rebuilt. As a museum. It also displays the style in which the rich and powerful cautiousness lived. But above all its the imposing ruin that captivates visitors from all over the world its been especially popular among americans since the 1924 broadway hit about all title bad. Tooth musical what are more fixed now from broadway in the musical became the longest running show in broadway history and suddenly every american knew about title back in for exactly when this idea of the good old germany with its bad wrinkly students a little romance a little fording in love captivated the american imagination. The castle is surrounded by an expansive park. With its exotic plants labyrinths and grottoes it was considered an 8th wonder of the world. Was in the summer months the Council Takes center stage as the perfect backdrop for the citys annual theater festival. I. Shop. And what better way to end a romantic day than on the banks of the net her with a view of the light show and fireworks and of intel 3 times a year. By fall of a sense of romance to heidelberg markets where. This is where youll find the town hall and the church of the holy spirit. Today the church is proud of. But that wasnt always the case in the past it was a times used by catholics and then again by lutherans there were even times when both denominations celebrated mass and the church separated by a wall. Of this building just across from the church its a rerun they saw as jim commissioned by a cloth merchant its now a hotel that survived all the wars and fires that ravaged the city and today is a listed monument. I think youve had a great taste of high low back so far thats why you meet the city for a moment and take a trip to the south pole our check in viewer priyanshu now from thailand took some spectacular footage over there and he has sent us the video for that and now enjoy the v mail. Hider there is the quintessential student town its home to germanys Oldest University its over 630 years old. More than 30000 students are enrolled here. Yet im john is one of them hes offered to show me around our 1st stop is the Assembly Hall it reminds me of a church here that you wouldnt know for a long time it was used for the teaching but today its mostly reserved for concerts lectures the ceremonies and its a place frequently shown off to tourists. Like me and exactly. The Assembly Hall is the showpiece of Heidelberg Universitys main building. Next venal takes me to the library nearby it houses a priceless treasure the codex man they sit. At the welcome to our historic ground reading room and one library and martine missing shows us the precious book well its a copy but that means we can touch it and take a closer look. This is annette bunch i think its a collection of german ballads and lyrical poetry. And the works of about 140 singers are included here and the most famous is undoubtedly valtteri under 45000 people so its like a really big song book yeah pretty much. The book was written and illustrated between 131340 its not just a key source of mediaval songs with its portraits of a nobleman it also provides an insight into the h. Of chivalry. There are many other valuable manuscripts in the University Library theyre being digitalized here page by page. Now anyone can check out the manuscripts on the computer for example in the reading room of the library. We move on to the canteen in the armory it was voted canteen of the year in 2012011 its open to students and visitors i like the atmosphere here its the Perfect Place to quiz vino about life in hydra back. Under the soon to be your last what do you study in heidelberg studio here a bachelors in Southeast Asian studies with a focus on history in ethnology especially my native sri lanka and south india. And why in hyderabad like oh definitely several reasons heidelberg is a lovely town and has a good reputation its internationally renowned. Its also a very compact town people say heidelberg is actually a village with a university and that pretty much hits the nail on the head and off. The tape. Or does it its not only german students here right there from all over the world. But its all right heidelberg is very international and so was the university we frequently have students from india. Bangladesh who start their Masters Program here we also run a lot in summer and vacation courses involved so why is highly back known as the student tell us and so i thought i think that has a lot to do with the history Heidelberg University was founded in 3906 and for many decades and centuries a quarter of the population was made up of students. So i dont fit with me and then theres the old town also known as the bar area where lots of students go out to party after theyve been studying hard. On. Nothing. Sounds like a place to really go crazy with that in mind i have another tip for you. Some things never change students have always liked. Party and in the past those who are party to heart were at risk of ending up in the so called cuts at the universities own prison today you wont find any locked up students tourists come here often terribly. Generations of heidelberg students have left their mark here students who are trying too much broke the rules and threw stones at lamp posts they all ended up in idle burg universities private prison. In cuts ago before i knew it i was put in a cell im having fun the days a swell. 2 or 3 days of incarceration in the late 19th century was more of a laugh than a punishment it was a jovial jail. Because Copious Amounts of alcohol flowed here to. The prison art was created with paint sort and leftover food. Still they used to dread to make a picture frame. The last inmate sat here in cell for more than a 100 years ago france shandor maya born in 1901 in the town of should invite. His offense today and cant stand it student finance chantel my a solid the sidewalk outside the house such time gas a number 18 by urinating he gave me or any of them. The last inmate didnt have time to contribute to the prison artwork he was released on february 21st 19146 months later he volunteered for military service in the great war doing just a title that got it on the Heidelberg University then had more than 2600 students of those more than 1200 world war one and his i think they had bigger worries in. The student jail was closed about a 100 years ago today and the only people leaving their trace are the tourists. That. As well as its narrow winding streets title back also has a busy main road that runs parallel to the neck up through the old tell me. Its one of the longest at most beautiful pedestrian zones in europe full of shops and boutiques. Its also the location of the historic student hall and some. Built in 1703 its been run for the past 175 years by the family many a celebrity yes stop by including Marilyn Monroe and mark toy. Me in serves up traditional fare and im eager to tuck in the hearty potato soup is right up my alley. While im eating my soup you can visit all the other sides of highly back we havent seen yet i bet you dont want to miss anything right. With his cafes bars and stores the street called stein grocery connects the town center and the old bridge youre sure to pass through on your tour through town. The nearby baroque jazzer were churches worth a snapshot it was built in the 18th century and as one of the largest and most significant churches in heidelberg. And this is our insiders chip out of berg universitys Botanical Garden its more than a century old. It started as a doctors garden for Medicinal Plants today more than 10000. 00 plant species grow in the green ounces and garden grounds. This may look like a greek amphitheater but it was built as a stage for events by the nazi party. Today the thing started as a listed monument and is used for open air concerts. So as heidelberg been hit with todays visitors its a start and a big here and i enjoy it if the house i meet i may come here again very intense city theyre good theyre go forward and a very friendly. If you want to visit during go to i did have is the best thing. A popular heidelberg souvenir is the student kiss a specialty by the citys oldest chocolate maker. Which many a seasoned politician has enjoyed the sweet treat. Back in the days smitten students would gift a box as a token of their affection now the customer is most likely a tourist looking to take home a memento of their trip to hardenberg. Now its time for a trip to the crew next to the mountain meaning kings chair were going up on the from the killer it has several stops you can also get off at the castle but im going up all the way. To do you know. You have to change trains from a new train to one of the oldest from the to the railways in germany the poets of the romantic era would no doubt have found some flowery language to describe the experience. Its a slow and bumpy journey very nostalgic. To right up here next to it is worth it simply for the spectacular views across title back and its surroundings but thats not the only reason ive come up. Here waiting patiently. To come on and. Once or twice a day in summer the 2 coolest fell can read this place its birds of prey calming them of 1st shows us the eagle owl you will young.
