Elisabethentor

4 Chung - 5 years ago

A rather small version on the Arc de Triomphe, supposedly designed by a Frenchman, and built overnight as a birthday present for a girl, whose name you should have guessed by now.

Step through this gate and you will have some pretty good views of the city. For free.

Elizabeth, was the daughter of King James I, of Great Britian, who was also King James VI of Scotland. You know...the same King who translated the Bible into English, that became known as The King James Version. So yes...this arch was made for Elizabeth...who married Frederich. She became Queen of Bohemia.

180 degree views of Heidelberg from this park. With no fee and if you are on out in a good day this is the spot to see the city.
