of Germany, Heidelberg is situated in the geographical heart of Europe. In addition to excursions to cities such as
Weimar, Dresden, Leipzig, and Wittenberg, which are scheduled as part of the program, students can take advantage
of Heidelberg’s central location to explore many major European cities which are just a few hours away by train.
The birthplace of German romanticism, Germany’s oldest university, founded in 1386, is surrounded by beautiful churches,
ancient theaters, and historic architecture. Emerging from the forested hills of the Odenwald, Heidelberg offers a
breathtaking environment and a rich cultural heritage. |

In past years, one-day study trips have been organized to such places as the medieval monastery at Maulbronn, the Black Forest, the European
Parliament in Strasbourg, the cities of Mainz and Worms, and along the Castle Road. Regular group visits to theater performances, concerts or
opera round out the program of cultural offerings.
