    This moderately priced pub, located in a well known Altstadt lane of Heidelberg and called Essighaus, is very popular among students.
    When I checked the photo in GL, it was not identified at first, but later on it was.
    Some replies seem to have found the place, but do not want it to be taken as a guess, so a free turn might be the best solution.

    FREE TURN
    I did advise Hans about GL identifying his photo shortly after he posted it - but his first GL check had not, so he let it run. I should have mentioned it on the thread and suggested Hans try a different photo – which is what we usually have done in the past. That is the fairest response.
    It appears that time zones have come onto play here and now Hans has offered a free turn.

    I thought that looked like Theaterstraße in Heidelberg but all my attempts to come at the solution from "knowing" that (and actually, it was on Plöck, a block south of Hauptstraße) failed. Oh well. For those whose German is not so good, Essighaus translates to Vinegar House. I bet Sauerbraten is the reason why.

    Many times I drove on Plöck after coming out of the underground Parkhaus that is beneath that part of Altstadt. Sometimes I miss living in that area, especially when I read the news.

    Perhaps a distinctive building where a poet and philosopher lived for many years?

    clue:
    We are in an old university town, and punting on the river is very popular.

    Hans, I think the building they are looking at is the Hölderlinturm (Hölderlin's Tower), in Tübingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
    Good challenge, finding those two gaps in the hedge took quite some time.

    Yes, the photo was taken from the "Hölderlinturm". It is very difficult to find a photo of it which survives the GL check; therefore only the indirect solution was left over.
    Over to you!

    More clues:
    The World Heritage area to the northwest is also a National Park and the World Heritage area to the southeast is also a Marine Park – we seek that ‘sweet’ heritage spot in between…

    More clues:
    A Rainforest to the northwest, a marginal Sea to the east and another Sea down to the southeast - sometimes referred to locally as 'the ditch'.

    Hi Max

    Would we be looking at the heritage-listed wharf at Port Douglas, Queensland?

    The jetty at Glenelg, a suburb of Adelaide, SA? Hmm, maybe not, I don't recall there being land masses like that being so visible.
