The 10 Best Nature & Parks in Heidelberg, Baden-Wurttemberg
Home to the oldest university in Germany, Heidelberg was hit hard during 17th-century wars and rebuilt in the 18th century with baroque buildings. For a pleasant walk, stroll through the historic city center's Gothic streets. Be sure to take in Heidelberg Castle, the symbolic heart of the city; Alte Brucke, a beautiful 18th-century bridge; and the Student Jail. Built as long ago as the 16th century, it was used to keep mischievous students off the streets for three days to a month at a time. And they say Penn State is the number-one party school!

Great view of all the area from above. Enjoy a cold beverage or hot coffee and a snack from the vista. Walk over and observe the para gliding jumpers from here as well.

I enjoyed my visit to the zoo. There are a variety of animals. The place is clean and green. There are some areas where the children can feed the animals. There is a huge great playground at the exit of the zoo. Food trucks are present selling hotdogs and fries. Toilets are free snd clean. Souvenirs are available too.
