Or what about chilling and bbqing on the banks of the river Neckar (Neckarwiese)........also with a gorgeous view on the castle!!! ;-)

Well it is a very beautiful town with lots of history…......best of all it was not bombed during the war and therefor all the beautiful old architecture (art nouveau & co) can still be seen in lots of streets in Heidelbreg and it’s suburbs :-) Have a look at the pics…......as soon as the weather will clear up I’ll take more pics :-) I just love Heidelberg!!! And it has been called a romantic city for centuries!!! And still hasn’t lost anything of it’s charme….......
I myself absoltely LOVE the view at the castle as it lies at the foot of the mountain overlooking the old town and the Neckar….......very romantic indeed!!!........and therefor most of the pics of HEidelberg I have are with this view - I need and want to take more different ones ;-)

that is the most famous song about Heidelbrg and a romantic poem as well:
It was a summer evening,
Just twenty I had seen,
When I kissed ruby lips and
Hair of golden sheen.
The night was blue and blissful,
The Neckar flowed pristine,
It was then I knew, it was then I knew,
What all to me did mean..I lost my heart in Heidelberg for all time,
On a balmy summer night.
In love head over heels, oh were she all mine,
And like a rose, her laughing mouth my light.
As by the gates she said: “Good-bye my lover,”
That last sweet kiss, it did confirm once more,
I’d lost my heart in Heidelberg forever.
My heart still beats on Neckar’s shore.And once again the vines bloom,
As then, on Neckar’s shore,
The years have passed so slowly,
And I’m alone once more.
And if you ask this fellow,
Why he took none to wed,
Then I will tell, then I will tell,
My Friends, what to this led:
I lost my heart . . . .Whatever happended to you,
Since you and I did part,
Oh Heidelberg of legend,
Oh city of my heart?
I went away and left you,
Left luck and happy days.
I long to be, I long to be,
Back in your arms always
I lost my heart . . . .

Here the german version with the song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puGHS7dgCmk
Es war an einem Abend,
Als ich kaum 20 Jahr’.
Da küßt’ ich rote Lippen
Und gold’nes, blondes Haar.
Die Nacht war blau und selig,
Der Neckar silberklar,
Da wußte ich, da wußte ich,
Woran, woran ich war:Ich hab’ mein Herz in Heidelberg verloren,
In einer lauen Sommernacht.
Ich war verliebt bis über beide Ohren
Und wie ein Röslein hat ihr Mund gelacht.
Und als wir Abschied nahmen vor den Toren
Beim letzten Kuß, da hab ich’s klar erkannt:
Daß ich mein Herz in Heidelberg verloren.
Mein Herz, es schlägt am Neckarstrand.2. Und wieder blüht wie damals
Am Neckarstrand der Wein,
Die Jahre sind vergangen,
Und ich bin ganz allein.
Und fragt ihr den Gesellen,
Warum er keine nahm,
Dann sag ich euch, dann sag ich euch,
Ihr Freunde, wie es kam.
Ich hab’ mein Herz . . . . .3. Was ist aus dir geworden,
Seitdem ich dich verließ,
Alt-Heidelberg, du Feine,
Du deutsches Paradies?
Ich bin von dir gezogen,
Ließ Leichtsinn, Wein und Glück,
Und sehne mich, und sehne mich
Mein Leben lang zurück.
Ich hab’ mein Herz . . . . . .

Heidelberg is the most Romantic City that I’ve ever been to. It has fantastic light, which lures Artists from all over the world. Authors from the Romantic Era (Shelley; Keats…etc…), stopped off there on their way to Lake Geneva; Mark Twain wrote some wonderful pieces, inspired by the ancient City (AHHH!!! I’m yearning….!!!)
