Afterward, we ate some local fare (liver dumplings and schnitzel for lunch) at the Golden Hecht, purchased some world famous lovers chocolates, and snacked on them as we walked through Heidelberg, crossed the bridge and lumbered up Philosopher's Way to a Tower. We climbed the steps to the top of the Bismarcksaule tower, built in 1902, enjoyed the view of the castle, and, on the way down, discovered an amazing see-saw that not only sprung up down, but also spun sideways. I haven't laughed so hard in months! Chuckling through grape trees and blackberry bushes, we meandered down to the stone bridge over narrow cobblestone passageways and moss covered walls, pausing briefly by the river to shoot a few more pictures of the castle and the Old Heidelberg bridge built by Karl Theodore in 1742.
