Heidelberg Zone Ice Cream Break

This is on P-day on Haupt Strasse, a pedestrian shopping zone.

Needed, new shoes

Elder Squires keeps loosing the end of his shoe. He glues it back on and it comes off. He finally decided to stop trying to glue it back on. He goes home in August.

Carol and the Ponds

These are pictures of Carol at two of the ponds in the Schwetzingen Gardens. The bottom picture is taken from the top of a grotto and rock garden plaza.

Looking down the garden trees

Great shot to give you and idea of how expansive the gardens are.

Beautiful Sculpted Trees

These are trees in the gardens at the Palace in Schwetzingen. They are probably 20-30 feet talk and have been forced to grow together to form arches. You see this all over the gardens.

Heidelberg Schloss Model

This is what the Heidelberg Schloss looked like in its glory days. The back side of the model is what you see from below and looking out across from Heilige Berg.

Elevation Chart

This shows you the elevation gain. We took the Mountain Train from the stop at the bottom, past the castle to Molkenkur, then changed to the older funicular train up to Koenig Stuhl.
