The Journey
Heiligenberg
Ascend the Heiligenberg, Heidelberg's 'Holy Mountain,' a site steeped in history dating back to Celtic times. Wander through the evocative ruins of the 11th-century St. Michael's Monastery and the later St. Stephen's Monastery, imagining the lives of monks who once sought solitude here. Discover the remnants of a Celtic ring wall, offering a glimpse into the region's ancient past. But perhaps the greatest allure is the panoramic vista – a breathtaking spectacle of the Neckar Valley unfolding beneath your feet, making it a truly unforgettable experience.
Thingstätte
Step into the past at the Thingstätte, a monumental open-air theatre constructed during the Nazi era on the Heiligenberg. This imposing structure, intended for propaganda and mass gatherings, now stands as a silent and thought-provoking memorial. Explore the vast stone arena and contemplate its complex history amidst the serene natural surroundings. The Thingstätte offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the darker chapters of history and the enduring power of memory.
Philosopher's Trail
Embark on a leisurely stroll along the Philosopher's Trail (Philosophenweg), Heidelberg's most famous scenic path. Bask in the warm sunshine as you traverse the hillside, enjoying unparalleled views of Heidelberg's iconic skyline. Capture stunning photographs of the romantic Old Town, the majestic Heidelberg Castle perched above, and the shimmering Neckar River flowing below. Let the beauty of the landscape inspire contemplation and reflection, just as it has for generations of philosophers and poets.
