| | | | | German Castles -- 4 of the most incredible ones Part I | | We have a long history here in Germany and very medieval castles also. Tens of thousands of tourists come to Germany day in and day out just to see and feel the "charisma" of our German castles.
I will explain you 4 of my favourites and a little bit of their history. If you plan to travel to Germany, you might like to understand
them and to feel its charisma too. ;-) These 4 castles are located in South Germany, so you do not have to travel hundreds of kilometres/miles to see each of them. By the way, most of our German castles are located in South Germany.
1. Heidelberg
The first one I describe to you is the Heidelberg castle. It is really big and has a secret stairway to stroll
up to it. Very few everybody know that way, most of the people go up by the hill train. I mean, you can do that too, but imagine how incredible it is, when you stroll
up the more than 300 stairs (each stair has its number on it!) and see all the old houses around you, WOW!
Heidelberg itself has a strong history too and you see that on all the houses and the extremely expensive residential areas. Very famous everybody live in Heidelberg, such as Steffi Graf and famous Scientists. You should also stroll
through the, and now Ill give you a insider secret, Philosophenweg (Way of Philosophs). You can ask the all the people out there where exactly this way is, but however when you walk up that way, you have an really awesome, and I mean really awesome view to the Heidelberg castle and Heidelberg itself and its river (Neckar).
2. Schwetzingen
Not far away from Heidelberg (approx. 10km) is a small town called Schwetzingen (yes, I live in this town and I love it!). The special thing here is, that this town has just 22,500 residents, but also a huge castle! When you visit German castles you will realize, that some of them not so big, but beautiful too. The castle of Schwetzingen is not just beautiful, its awesome and huge! The city itself spends all of the entrance fees (only 2,50 EUR per day) into this incredible castle, and you see that at each corner stone, plant and bloom.
The Schwetzingen castle is almost as big as the city itself! |
