View from Königsstuhl of Heidelberg and the river Neckar, which flows toward the river Rhine, visible that day 20 KM off in the distance.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe used to roam this park on the Königsstuhl where Jacob is posing on this fancy bench.

The first Königsstuhl cable car is very modern and quiet and takes visitors quickly to the castle.

The second Königsstuhl cable car is an old wooden contraption that rumbles up the 40 degree grade from the castle to the top station.

At the top of the Königsstuhl a fine hospitality establishment always has a few cold beers for the weary travellers.

The whole gang on top of Königsstuhl. In the background thee city of Heidelberg and the river Neckar, which flows toward the river Rhine, visible that day 20 KM off in the distance.
