About this audio guide
This guide to the Tiefburg, the moated castle of Heidelberg's Handschuhsheim district, is about the stone bridge at its gate rather than the ruin behind it. It follows a moat that once ran twelve metres wide, an inspection in the summer of twenty twenty-two, and the stonemasons who went back to medieval methods. Best heard standing on the bridge itself, with a hand on the parapet.
