Heidelberg remains one of the best-known—and most visited—cities in Germany, identifiable by its graceful baroque towers and the majestic ruins of its red sandstone castle. From this grand city, the narrow and quiet Neckar Valley makes its way eastward, then turns to the south, taking you past charming villages where the streets are lined with half-timber houses. Most are guarded by their own castle, sometimes in ruins but often revived as a museum or hotel. This part of Germany is aptly named the Burgenstrasse (Castle Road).
