Heidelberg 2

As I mentioned in the previous post, one of the attractions of Heidelberg castle is it's huge wine barrel with a capacity of 220,017 liters (58,124 gallons).
The present day barrel was constructed in 1751 from 130 oak tree trunks, It is 8.5 meters across and 7 meters high with a dance floor on top. Unfortunately the picture is not that clear both because the place was quite dark and also cuz there was not enough place! You can see two visitors climbing the stairs to go to the dance floor. The barrel is in the basement of the castle in a room a bit bigger than the barrel itself!
