The castle bathed in a mysterious red light that blurs the contours. Smoke rises and the castle appears to be in flames.

The street lighting in the Old Town of Heidelberg and the suburb of Neuenheim opposite is switched off, from time to time the castle itself is in darkness and the marvelous firework show offers one highlight after another.

The Old Bridge and the buildings along the water's edge are only lit by the reflection of the fireworks.

Many boats and yachts follow the fireworks from the Neckar River while the banks are lined with thousands of visitors. This is the boat "Schloss Heidelberg" entering the lock beneath Heidelberg Castle.
