Heidelberg used to be the administrative center of the entire Kurpfalz region.
Even today, history and culture connect the "Kurpfälzer" across state borders. Churches and monasteries, castles and palaces: traces of Electoral Palatinate history can be found at every turn in Heidelberg's neighbourhood. It is only a stone's throw to the German Wine Route, to the slopes of the Odenwald on the Bergstrasse, to the legendary Nibelungen and Siegfried Routes, or historic sites on the Castle Road.
