About this audio guide
This guide to the Märchenparadies on the Königstuhl above Heidelberg sets a family-run fairy-tale park beside an unlikely neighbour: the hilltop observatory where Max Wolf and his colleagues photographed the night sky. You'll hear about an American philanthropist's telescope, a Trojan asteroid named Achilles, and why a mountain railway company wanted a children's park in the first place. Stand by the rides and check the coin slots.
