Baden Baden and Heidelberg

Our traveling has come to an end now and I wanted to squeeze in one last travel post even though I usually don’t post on Thursdays.

I haven’t blogged about our visit to Heidelberg and Baden-Baden yet. Heidelberg is well known to Americans I’d say. We had been there with our son when he was smaller but my daughter hadn’t been there and since we were visiting my aunt in Baden-Baden, we stopped in Heidelberg which isn’t far away. And it’s always worth a visit but the huge amount of tourists kill me every time. It somewhat takes away from the charm of everything.

The door with the famous “Witch’s Bite” legend. My kids love that story.
Our little tourist taking it all in. I adore his interested mind, he just can’t get enough which makes traveling with him so much more fun. I know I wasn’t like that as a child:
The pharmacy museum with lots of old intact pharmacy cabinets:
I love this mansion that you can see from the castle walls:
Trinkhalle:
 And the gorgeous view from the Yburg ruins:

This will be my last travel post for this year. I hope I didn’t bore you too much with it 😉

So stop back!

  1. Hi Julia, last year we visited Baden Baden but did not know about Heidelberg which just looks wonderful. Since my aunt lives in the region we will have to make another trip then. I’ve been going over our travel diaries from last year which started with a month in France, week in Germany and continued and I am yet to share our Baden Baden experience which was quite a change from what we saw in France.

  4. Thank you for taking me back to Heidelberg! When I was in the Army, I was in Kaiserslautern for training in May 2000 and 2001, and had the opportunity to visit. My favorite was the trek up the hill to the castle and all the cherry trees heavy with fruit. Lunch on the marktplatz and the whole enchanting town, I just love it. Thank you thank you!

  10. Oh this is the last one? I am so hoping you have more in a last thought. I have been loving all your pictures of your vacation. All that gorgeous woodwork and well everything. I notice that there were vandals that carved into that wonderful old wood…. even there we have those brats. I can’t help but remember my favorite cathedral in the old world city of Chester… England. The carved woodwork in one chapel was so exquisite….. well it was difficult to leave.
