Heidelberg

A city in south western Germany, one that I visited last on a high school trip around 8 years ago.
Amazingly beautiful , with a famous castle perched on top of a hill overlooking the valley and river Neckar. It has a world-reknowned university too!

This is the official carriage and engine of that record breaking train!
