Bookmark & shareFabled fun and the landscape of legend make Heidelberg your prince charming.
There's an iron ring in a tiny door outside Heidelberg's half-ruined castle. Legend has it that whoever could bite through the ring (one witch tried) could have the castle - it's that kind of city. Heidelberg's great old town, excellent pubs and lively student atmosphere are all here for the taking.
