Heidelberg Vacation Guide
Heidelberg is a city in the state Baden-Württemberg in Germany. As of 2005, 140,000 people live within the city's 42 miles² area.
The town of Heidelberg is an administrative district of its own. Although not being part of it, the Rhein Neckar Kreis, the rural district, which surrounds the town, has its seat in Heidelberg. The name Heidelberg is an adaptation of Heidelbeerenberg (the German for Blueberry Mountain).
Heidelberg lies on the river Neckar at the point where the it leaves its narrow, steep valley in the Odenwald to flow into the Rhine valley where, 12.4 miles Northwest of Heidelberg, it joins the river Rhine at Mannheim. Heidelberg is part of a densely populated region called Rhein-Neckar-Triangle.
Heidelberg Altstadt, located at the southern side of the Neckar, is long and narrow and is dominated by the ruins of the Heidelberg Castle perched 260ft above the Neckar on the steep, wooded side of the Königstuhl ("King's chair") hill. The Karlstor is a triumphal arch in honor of the Prince Elector Karl Theodor, located at Heidelberg's very east. It was erected from 1775 until 1781. The house "Zum Ritter Sankt Georg" is one of the few buildings, which survived the war of succession.
Heidelberg is often visited by many tourists and also offers one of the best universities in the region.
