THE PALACE AT HEIDELBERG.

THE situation of the ruins of this splendid palace is trulymagnificent, commanding a wonderful prospect over the beauti-ful valley of the Neckar. At the foot of the rock on which theystand, lies the city of Heidelberg, with its handsome stonebridge over the Neckar. Behind them rises, in graceful slopes,the lofty hill called the Heiligenberg, covered with the richestwoods. All these objects combined, form, perhaps, the finestlandscape in Germany.
