Heidelberg

Letztes Wochenende haben wir das romantische Städtchen Heidelberg am Neckar besucht. Über den Dächern der Altstadt erhebt sich die Ruine des Schlosses. Von dort hat man eine wunderbare Aussicht auf die Stadt. Im Schloss befindet sich, außer dem größten Weinfass der Welt, noch ein Apotheken-Museum mit der europaweit größten Sammlung pharmaziehistorischer Exponate. Genau das richtige für Apotheker(-innen) !!

Some more details for the foreign visitors of my blog:
Last weekend, we visited the romantic city of Heidelberg at the river Neckar. The ruins of the castle are located above the roofs of the historic city centre. From Heidelberg Castle, you have a beautiful view of the valley. Inside the castle, there is one of the biggest wine barrels of the world. This tourist attraction was built in 1751 and is more than nine yards long and eight yards high, its capacity are 55,345 gallons. As a pharmacist, I also had a look at the German Pharmacy Museum. It is located in the Heidelberg Castle grounds, too. The collection includes a complete pharmacist's office, a laboratory, manuscripts, a wide variety of vessels, mortars, and technical flasks, and lots of raw drugs representing medicine from the 17th to 19th centuries.
