Burg Handschuhsheim, or the Tiefburg as it is known, is a medieval moated castle that can be found in the heart of Heidelberg. The ruins are one of the most interesting sites you can explore during your visit there; guided tours of the castle and archive are available on certain days of the month so be sure to give them a call before you head over there. Aspects from the core castle that are still preserved today include the foundation wall, the defensive walls, and the vaults of the residential tower. The Tiefburg is home to many festivals and events throughout the year, much of which is open to the public and is a great opportunity to explore while having fun with friends and family.
