Since the weather forecast predicted rain for today, we had the choice of a city tour in Speyer and Heidelberg. Well, we had expected more based on the description. Nevertheless, the city is worth a visit.

Overnight stopover on the way to Lake Geneva in Speyer. The cathedral is very impressive not only because of its sheer size and dominates the cityscape. How must it have affected people almost 1000 years ago?
Many small streets lead to other churches. Of which the Memorial Church is the most beautiful.
Coincidentally, the old town festival begins today. Ray …

The first 1.5 hours (about 1.5km) were part of a city tour 👍🏻, including a visit to the Jewish Courtyard with its impressive mikveh.

Then, of course, to the cathedral, across the Sonnenbrücke, past the Holz- und Fischmarkt (wooden and fish markets) to the Trinity Church (wooden interior!), and to the fountain opposite the tourist information office.
