Das Große Fass im Heidelberger Schloss ist echt beeindruckend, einfach riesig!

Está dentro del Palacio de Heidelberg, es el barril de vino más grande del mundo. Tiene una capacidad de 220.000 litros. El guardián Perkeo cuenta la leyenda, consumía "30 litros" de vino diario. Esta es la cuarta versión del barril. En la parte de arriba hay una zona por la que se puede andar que fue una pista de baile. Puedes probar los vinos de la zona en la bodega y comprarlos. El primer barril es grande pero el segundo es el gigante.

Hohes Besucheraufkommen und Weinproben vor Ort. Historische Baukunst.
