the hill in the background is called the "ant hump", "Ameisenbuckel". Off to the right in the background, there's a cemetary under those trees reaching about halfway up the hill.
tracks disappear into a tunnel shortly after that bend. cemetary to the right belongs to one suburb, everything off to the left to another.
Directly off to the right is Heidelberg's "School Center Midtown" - one elementary school, two highschools, one vocational school and some sports areas. something like 3000 students total, biggest such center in Heidelberg.
wow, hard to imagine from this pic that all that stuff is so nearby! lol and 3000 students? yikes. o_O;;; how busy is this particular station once school is out for the day? then again, i guess high school kids don't really commute to other towns. haha. XD; or maybe it's closer for them to walk home than it is to come down to this station? O_O who uses this mostly?
it's usually filled with students when school's out.
well... most students really go to local schools. and there aren't that many people living where that train would be going, only about 50,000 within 15 minutes. with a similar-sized school center exactly 15 minutes away, with its own station ^^;
also, this station - one of two new stations in Heidelberg - was placed perfectly there; the tram lines going north-south in Heidelberg stop there, and it's a perfect shortcut if you want to go to southern Heidelberg. lots of ppl, especially commuters, use it for that.
