Heidelberg is a city defined by its river, by its incredible castle, and by its university - founded in 1386, Heidelberg University is the oldest in Germany and one of the most highly regarded in Europe. Designated a ‘City of Literature’ by the UNESCO Creative Cities Network, Heidelberg is a celebrated cultural hub for the arts, which isn’t to ignore its distinguished position in the field of science - the city is home to the Max Planck Institutes and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory.

To cycle up to the Mountain Cemetery is to happen upon the resting places of such distinguished figures as Max Weber, Max Wolf, Robert Bunsen, and Carl Bosch. As one of Germany’s warmest regions, lying in the south-western state of Baden-Württemberg, Heidelberg boasts almond, fig, olive, and palm trees, as well as a wild population of African rose-ringed parakeets and Siberian swan geese.
