Top Comments of this video!! :3
In March of 1982, I was 18 and on a high school trip. Heidelberg was our first stop. We had a small tour of the castle first then off to our hotel. We had a very interesting hotel and meal that night. But, I will still never ever forget that first view of the castle at night. Walking through the old town area, and at the end of the street maybe one of the most magical things I had ever seen... that castle up on a hill all lit up. Stole my breath... have always wanted to go back. Back then we didn't have camera phones and I didn't get that picture... but, I remember it very very fondly.... My dream.... to return... and yet... here I am...lol... all these later and haven't yet... but, still a bucket list and dream list stop!!!

The plum cake looks awesome. When I was working a a Renaissance Festival there was a food vendor right behind us that was run by a older gentleman who moved from Germany. He made the sausages, buns and pastries he sold. He had the best plum cake I ever had. Honestly everything he made was the best. Unsurprisingly he won best food vendor of the Renn Fest.

Thank you for this video. I agree, Saumagen really isn't a common food in Baden-WĆ¼rttemberg (where I'm from). They eat it in Rheinland-Pfalz. Funny but true: there is no stomach in this dish! Traditionally it was cooked in a empty pig stomach just like a sausage is made in intestines. Nowadays Saumagen is mostly not even more made in a stomach. It's just a weird name for a really tasty LeberkƤse with Potatoes in it.

I lived in the Mannheim area for nearly 18 years.
The last time I was in Heidelberg was in 2016 and I cannot explain how much I miss Germany.
Heidelberg is spectacular-especially the Weihnachtsmarkt.
You guys should have visited Mannheim, as well. It is a really nice city that I think is underrated and underappreciated.
In fact, the entire area is wonderful.

First and so far only trip to Europe for work was 2008. Spent almost 2 weeks in Germany and over the weekend my coworker and I went to Heidelberg one day. Visited the castle and walked the bridge. I do not remember us having a meal there, but we may have had a small lunch or snack.
I am American and most of my ancestors were German or from nearby areas with German ethnicity who came to the US in the 19th century. So, the entire time I was there, I found the food most enjoyable even if not always familiar. My coworker did not like anything with vinegar it it so he was not as happy!
That meal at the end I was feeling hungry looking at it! I grew up on a farm and home-made sausage with intestine casings were something I got to help with as a child.

Germany, in the summer, is the perfection of the beautiful,ā he gushed. He was especially fond of Heidelberg, where he lived with his family in the summer of 1878. The city was āthe last possibility of the beautiful,ā he wrote, straining to surpass the superlative he had lavished on the country....Mark Twain

Thank you for the Saumagen. Bratkartoffeln, Sauerkraut and that kind of dark sauce also belong to my dishes, but Saumagen was new for me. I had to look up for it in the wikipedia. German wikipedia is better than the English one (the English wikipedia claims, that the pork stomach itself is important, whereas the German wikipedia clarifies, that the pork stomach is only used for being filled and then cooked/baked or whatever).

I grew up in Heidelberg, moved to Freiburg to study and now I'm living in Austria near Vienna.
If the next one is in the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) or even in Freiburg I'm gonna die of being homesick ššš
Awesome Video ā¤ I really enjoyed you guys enjoying the beauty of my home and heart :)

If you ascend the hill even higher from the Philosopher's Way (with the epic views), you will find the "ThingstƤtte", an amphitheater built by students in the 1940s. Right next to it are the ruins of an old monastery. It's a really beautiful place that is, unfortunately, missed out by many tourists. You'd probably need to save an extra day for the exhausting hike, especially if you plan to see the castle as well.
