Hockenheimring doesn’t only get its fame from its beauty or the racing events but also due to the music shows it hosted of some of the legendary singers like Micheal Jackson, Pink Floyd and Robbie Williams.

Heidelberg Zoo

This is one of the oldest zoos which has a foundation that dates back to 1933 and was open for public visits the next year. The zoo since then has seen many ups and downs. In its initial years, the place has gone through shortages of money that kept on worsening. It also got destroyed in 1945 due to bombings in the area and was not restored till 1972. The restorations included enclosures for sea lions, bears, birds, tigers and other carnivores. Recently, in 2010 it inaugurated a house for elephants for a breeding program of Asian elephants.
