Station 6 of the historic trail.
The first two attempts to take Heidelberg in 1622 failed. Therefore, guns were brought in and positioned above the walls. With a little imagination you can still see positions and trenches here. Ultimately, this brought the desired success for the attackers and Heidelberg was taken that same year.
