The State Firemen Festival

This year the five yearly meeting of the firemen in Baden Württemberg was in Heidelberg. We had a look at the shows and activities in the old town

Mia had to try the bungee jumping at the small fair that was set up at the university square

Then she watched a demonstration how firemen rescue someone from a smokey room

The main exhibit was by the river - and included some music performances

A boat by the fire department of Mannheim showed what it can do

A tombola with a guaranteed bag of gummy bears - what not too like about this

Lots of old fire trucks from the 1920'ies and 30'ies

 An impressive water cannon

The highlight was the ride on a lift that went 40 m high. Well worth the 30 minute wait

The view was great and very unique

At the end we had another look at the old firtrucks
