You're standing at Heidelberg Castle, one of the most famous ruins in Germany and the symbol of the city. Start with the colour of the walls. Everything is built from red sandstone from the Neckar valley. The castle sits about eighty metres above the old town, on the slope of the Königstuhl hill, and from down in the city you can see it rising above every rooftop.
