Final Ascent to Koenig Stuhl

This is the final steep grade to reach our destination of Koenig Stuhl. The final slope is about 45 degrees.

Cable Safety

This is a picdture of the cable which pulls the funicular up the hill, It then is let out to let the cable car ride back down on the tracks.

Collision Course

This is riding the funicular railroad from downtown old Heidelberg up to Koenig Stuhl. It looks like we have a problem, but if you click on the picture you will see the bypass rails for us to safely go on up and the other train to come down.

Our meal at Talblick

The last item on the menu is called, "I can't decide what I want to eat." So we ordered it. It was a sampler of a steak, salmon, pork chop, chicken cutlet, sausage, tater tots, bacon and onion ring. It came with garlic potato and a deep fried cheeze ball. It also came with a large bowl of french fries, but that detracted from the scene. It was very delicious. Of course we haven't eaten since then.

Talblick Restaurant

This islooking out the window from the Talblick (Valley View) restaurant in Wilhelmsfield. We went there for Carol's birthday after we inspected the missionaries apartment in Michelstadt. It was a beautiful view.
