Experience national and international research up close \u2013 science has been brought out of the institutions and into the DAI Heidelberg!<\/p>\n

The Heidelberg Castle Illumination is a time-honored light show in which the castle ruins are first bathed in a fiery red glow, followed by a spectacular fireworks display over the Neckar. Since the fireworks are launched from the Old Bridge, the following locations offer the best views:<\/p>\n

Philosophenweg:<\/strong> A classic panoramic view from the \u201cPhilosopher\u2019s Walk\u201d across the river.<\/p>\n

Nepomuk Terrace:<\/strong> Right at the bridgehead of the Old Bridge.<\/p>\n
