The Peterson's Take Europe!: Heidelberg and Koblenz

The last leg of our journey brought us through Heidelberg and Koblenz. Heidelberg happened to be where Bella's preschool teacher was from so we made sure to stop in for lunch and a wonder around. I really wish we would have stayed the night but a lovely afternoon was good too!!!

Heidelberg Castle - Wow is all I can say. We got to ride up on a funicular and this is what you see!!! It was such an amazing day and you could see for miles! The castle is quite in ruins, but still has some area's that are not that are used for events and what not. Here is some info on the castle (Castel Info). One of the buildings had a pharmacy museum which was great. It showed the evolution of pharmacy throughout European history and the kids loved it!

Bella so proud that she is here!

I do not think this barrel holds enough wine. It was so huge!

Koblenz - Koblenz is about 2 hours from Heidelberg and was really just a stopping point for the day at the tail end of our trip. There is not much here but it is where the Moselle and Rhine rivers come together (Deutsche Eck). The drive here was absolutely amazing through the Moselle Valley! I have never seen so many wine fields in my life!!! Where they two rivers come together there is a pretty great monument and place for the kids to run around.
