The Village Rot by Heidelberg
Rot is situated in the Rhine valley approximately 19km south of Heidelberg. The people there once made their living from farming. Tobacco and asparagus flourished in the favourable climate and so did rye and wheat. Today it is industry which has been established in Rot and provides employment to many people.
Wiesen u. Graeben
Meadows and creeks

As children, we spent the long summer days playing or catching frogs and lizards in the Kirrgraben.  We also made our first attempts at swimming there, which was great fun, though it is unthinkable in todays terms.

Schilf u. Wiesen
Reeds and Meadows
The meadows were abundant with grass, which was harvested in summer for hay and stored in the barns as fodder for the cows in winter. Today the reeds provide a haven for the birds, frogs and lizards.
