Along with the Neker, Heidelberg lies in the shadows of the picturesque Odenwald Mountains. The mountains are covered by a rich expanse of forest, and a day trip along mountain roads will lead travelers to a variety of scenic hiking routes. The surrounding areas of Heidelberg offer endless possibilities for you to explore, and with an Auto Europe discount car hire in Germany you can be sure you will have the means to do so.

Travelling in Heidelberg with a Car Hire

Completed in 1905, the library is constructed of ornate red sandstone and combines classical architecture with elements of Art Nouveau.

Car Rental in Heidelberg with Auto Europe

Heidelberg has long been known as the cradle of Romanticism in Germany, and in no place is this more apparent than in the grand Heidelberg Castle. Partially destroyed by a lightning bolt in 1764, the ruined elements of the castle only add to its mystique.

The castle is one of Germany's most popular destinations, and was a favorite site of American writer Mark Twain during his travels abroad. Its observation terraces offer a particularly striking view, and tours are available daily. Auto Europe can meet all your travelling needs with discount rental cars in Heidelberg.
