Thick Tower

Beautiful old castle. Great view. Not sure what we did wrong but we found no access to second floor or above. Make sure you see the wine barrel.

I did not visit inside, but a unique panorama of the city opens from the top.

(Translated by Google) It is the tallest tower of Heidelberg Castle. It is semi-ruined, but even so it is quite impressive to contemplate its dimensions, which give us an idea of u200bu200bits magnitude when it was standing: 37 meters high on six floors, an internal diameter of 14 meters and a wall thickness of 7 meters. Ordered to be built by Louis XV the Pacific, son of Philip the Just in 1533, it came to house a banquet hall and another in which theatrical performances were offered. It was blown up in 1693 by the French during the Nine Years' War, which pitted France against the League of Augsburg. Although we can appreciate it from outside the castle, if we want to contemplate it in all its integrity, we must access it. At the time I traveled (September 2021) the opening hours were from 09:00 to 17:00 every day of the week, and the ticket price was €9. It was mandatory to fill out an entry form that was downloaded from the castle's website; in case of not carrying it, it could be filled on the fly, but it was much more comfortable to carry it already filled, which allowed us to save time.

Es la torre más alta del castillo de Heidelberg. Se encuentra semiderruida, pero aun así es bastante impactante el contemplar sus dimensiones, que nos dan una idea de su magnitud cuando estaba en pie: 37 metros de altura en seis plantas, diámetro interior de 14 metros y un espesor de muros de 7 metros. Mandada construir por Luis XV el Pacífico, hijo de Felipe el Justo en 1533, llegó a albergar un salón de banquetes y otro en el que se ofrecían representaciones teatrales. Fue volada en 1693 por los franceses durante la Guerra de los Nueve Años, que enfrentó a Francia contra la Liga de Augsburgo. Aunque podemos apreciarla desde fuera del castillo si queremos contemplarla en toda su integridad deberemos acceder al mismo. En la época en que viajé (septiembre de 2021) el horario de apertura era de 09.00 a 17.00 horas todos los días de la semana, y el precio de la entrada, 9 €. Era obligatorio llevar relleno un formulario de entrada que se descargaba de la página web del castillo; en caso de no llevarlo se podía cumplimentar sobre la marcha, pero era mucho más cómodo llevarlo ya relleno, lo que nos permitía ahorrar tiempo.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful city, a magnificent castle, unfortunately partially closed during the crown, a Polish guide. Don't make our mistake. Before buying a ticket to the castle, it is worth doing a test for COVID (downstairs in the city) with a negative test in the ticket price - a train ride. I heartily recommend

Przepiękne miasto , wspaniały zamek , niestety w czasie korony częściowo zamknięty , Polska przewodniczka . Nie popełnijcie naszego błędu . Przed kupieniem biletu na zamek warto zrobić test na COVID ( na dole w mieście ) z negatywnym testem w cenie biletu przejażdżka kolejką. Serdecznie polecam

(Translated by Google) September 2014. This thickness is great! It is understandable because it is kept in a destroyed state. It will be difficult to keep this as it is, but I would like to see it when I visit it again.

2014年9月。この厚みは凄い！破壊された状態で保たれているから良く分かります。このまま保つのは大変でしょうが、ぜひまた訪れたとき時も見てみたいです。
