I insisted that our family make the track up to the Philosopher's Way from the old bridge in the historic old town of Heidelberg. And I was probably the only one that struggled badly with the climb. But having made it the views from the top over to the caste and old town are superb. If they had a Kneipe... More

We were just able to walk here a little since we were pushing a stroller with a sleeping 18 month old and the paths are not intended for this use. However it was nice up to the point we got and I believe it must be nicer at the top, specially the view of the river with the old town... More

This place is well worth the visit, this place is awesome! the trails and views of the city is crazy beautiful. where comfortable shoes and bring water and snacks so you can take your time and visit everything. I missed the amphitheater but I will go back and find it. You have to go! its great!

It is quite a hard steepy walk, but worth it! The best way you can go up is through steps that start opposite the Old Bridge. There are a couple of benches and panoramic points on the way up - enjoy the view! It is a really nice walk to do when sunny of course. On the way back go... More

Take the philosopher's Way right from the bridge, the path that leads you steeply! right up the stairs - in that case you'll enjoy the most picturesque views. In summer it can be exhausting, especially for older couples, or those who travel with children. It's a long way steeply up the hill, so take a bottle of water in case... More

Spectacular views of the Heidelberg Castle, Old Bridge and Neckar River, lovely garden with colorful blooms, Thingstaate ampitheatre built by the Nazis, the Tower and the beautiful ancient ruins St. Michael's Monastery are the gorgeous places you pass by on the way up to the top of the Holy Mountain (Heiligenberg). A nice restaurant awaits you at the top after... More

I recommend planning a half a day for this area. Lots of walking and very worth it indeed. This is a great place for views and a good spot to stop for a picnic before heading up to the top of the hill. Truthfully though, this is only about 1/4 of the way up. There are much better views from... More

What a wonderful view of Heidelberg! You must do this. And a bit of a workout so you get to lose some calories from all the the eating you are sure to do. Do it at sunset and be delighted.

Cross the Alte Brücke and continue walking straight up the hill, then follow the path along to the left when you get to the top. Great views across town, and you work up a thirst and an appetite, both of which will come in handy.
