I was lucky enough to see this place twice. Once in 1976, with my parents when I was 16 or so, another in 1989 with my wife on a honeymoon- bicycle trip across Europe. This was a great video, it felt like another visit, because of the mood of the music and the other sites on the hill I hadn't seen. Thank you.
Excellent quality production. Thanks for keeping your commentary historic and light. Hard to find channels that don't claim ancient aliens helped mankind build all the ancient sites these days 😅 I subscribed, thanks for the video.
I have tried to understand India's history and just full of alien connections - in all fields - from Sanskrit to architecture etc. Oh hmmm. Thank you for your point. (Buzzing off to Jupiter - now) Fare thee well - on life's journey
Those wooded mountains are my favourite place to go. I take my ebike , some food supplies and knitting. Its shaded and cool in the summer with plenty o f streams.and wells . I usually bring back some water from one of the springs. You.arent permitted to cycle in all.areas anymore so you have to push your bike sometimes. Its a real haven, very refreshing and calming. Ive never been to the last place you featured though, Stephans monastery? I usually go to the mountain next to it where you can cycle. Theres a restaurant , a good German one with a beer garden, shortly after the "mysterious hole" on the way to the Nazi stadium for anyone planning a trip. Which reminds me, its time we went there again. Maybe next weekend :)
Correction: the "series of turrets" mentioned at 3:23 are not ancient, but a very modern custom in Germany in which creative people will start little towers of rocks and others build upon it. It's comes from a sort of Zen tradition and seemed to have gotten viral about twenty years ago. You will often see this along wooded paths or near streams. It's about people leaving a part of themselves along the path they were on. Those little stone Zen towers on Heiligenberg must have been started in the last year or so, as they weren't there the last time I was walking around there...
@@milford8485 Nope. Just a sort of Zen fad going around... I've seen them all over wooded paths in Germany lately. I think it comes from an inspection from all of the postcards at gift shops with little stacks of rocks and wise, philosophical sayings... 😉 Believe me, if they were ancient someone, if not even a wild boar, would've knocked them down centuries ago 😂
Thank you 🙏. The name of the town cannot be translated 100% literally. One of several theories is that Heidel is derived from the German term Heide (Heathen). Berg is the mountain. That would then be Heathens' Mountain.
This is all just speculation. Nobody really knows. At a depth of 52 meters, a brick casing was found that was dated to the 12th century AD. The shaft was therefore thought to have been a well for the nearby monastery. Underneath the casing, however, was a floor slab. After it was lifted, another layer of bricks from presumably Roman times appeared.
Funny thing is... I owe it to the celts that in 600AD chose to retain the proper features of the sacrifice of the cross. Look it up... Tombstones from 600AD... Celt. Now explain why you chose that design?... Obvious features on the guy..😊😊😊.
@@mystictrails.explorer I thought it was beautiful & relaxing. Great film thanks for posting. I've never seen film of German Celtic ancient sites like this. Germany has so much to offer I'd love to visit one day. Blessings from UK

@@theostapel go and read some books. And stop watching 'Ancient Aliens' disinformation on Rothschild owned Discovery/History Channel.
This is marvellous, thank you for your great video.
Enticing to historic reflection and religious meditation. The places exude some sort of deep energy, indeed. Happy those who can visit at leisure.
Thank you for the video, quite interesting. The melancholic music suited it quite well also.

You mean the ruins of St. Michael's Monastery. They are located about 250 meters above the amphitheater on the northern peak of the Heiligenberg
Luck you!
Beautifully produced. I did not know of this place although I've been to Heidelberg 3 times. If I ever get the chance, next time, I will surely visit.

I thought they couldn't have been there for long.. There's no moss on them.

I was worried when I saw the title, but the content is pretty much accurate. Nice vid!
Well done!
Beautiful video. Liked and subscribed
Another good video from you! Thanks for your works and dedication! 💛
Am I right with translating "Heidelberg" as "The Mount of the Legacy"?
Thank you 🙏. The name of the town cannot be translated 100% literally. One of several theories is that Heidel is derived from the German term Heide (Heathen). Berg is the mountain. That would then be Heathens' Mountain.
gotta love the ancient architecture of the 1930s ... Thingspiel much 😁
The plaque at 2:02 dates the "Heidenloch" to the 1st half of the 12th century. So, probably not roman or older.

90 percent of the people watching this would fall out if they knew who built this
The pre-white invasions indegenous Europeans often wrongly referred to nowadays as 'Celt-Iberians'.
Same people that built the rest of them...😊😊😊.
Cheddar Man is actually the catalyst to European society.😊
@@markschuler1511unfortunately it is till its common knowledge.

Tombstones from 600AD... Celt.
Now explain why you chose that design?...
Obvious features on the guy..😊😊😊.
Music sounds alot like James's getting away with it.
yep, the strings towards the end have slight similarities in some places. Next time I'll just use the original... 😉
pecking piano music right off the bat like a drug commercial. PUKE
No drug sales here. Just can't afford better music because you guys don't click my videos often enough :-)

Very nicely made. I like it.
