Worth Seeing

1 Heidelberger Schloss and SchlossgartenThe Castle was built on the site of a medieval castle complex over- looking the Old Town. For four hundred years, this was the resi- dence of the Palatine Prince Elec-tors of the house Wittelsbach. The oldest intact building in the Castle complex, the Ruprecht building, was commissioned for construc- tion around 1400 by the Prince Elector Ruprecht III. In 1693, du- ring the Palatine War of Succes-sion, the complex and its towers were destroyed. The ruins beca-me a symbol of an entire epoch, the German Romantic Period.

HDCARD see Schlossticket* www.schloss-heidelberg.de

2 Heidelberger BergbahnenThe lower part of the funicular up to the Molkenkur station is one of the most modern cable cars. The upper section which takes you to the Königstuhl is one of the oldest electric funi-culars in Germany.

HDCARD discount and the state observatory www.lsw.uni-heidelberg.de.

4 PhilosophenwegThe Philosophers’ Walk is one of the most beautiful panora-mic walks in Europe. The fa-mous path on the sunny slopes of the Heiligenberg was the source of inspiration for many a

scholar. The walk extends from the Theodor Heuss bridge to the Philosophers’ Garden. A longer route takes you up via the Schlangeweg (serpentine path) on the north side of the Old Bridge.

5 HeiligenbergMeasuring 330 m in height, the Heiligenberg towers over the Philosophers’ Walk facing the Königstuhl opposite. As early as 400 B.C. the Celts settled here and built a ring wall, part of which can be seen today. By ta-king the many hiking trails, vi-sitors can explore the Heiligen-berg, the ruins of the Michael and Stephan abbey on the top of the hill or the Thingstätte, a large open air stage built during the Nazi period.

6 Neckarwiese The grassy banks of the Neckar draw crowds from the first day of sunshine in the year to the last days of the golden fall. The north bank of the river between the Theodor Heuss bridge and the Ernst Walz bridge is a must for all those who enjoy a stroll, a jog, a game of frisbee, a picnic or who simply want to soak up the sun. Children love to play at the water playground where there is also a kiosk.
