We had a Blast at the historic castle. We did the pay tour of the inside of the very well preserved renascence era Elector castle. It was well worth the admission. The tour guide was fantastic, we learned so much. I would recommend it to families with or without small children. The Cafe had plenty of offerings for everyone and all of our choices were delicious.

a 1h30 stroll along the water on the Neckar River departing from the quay in Heidelberg. Guided tour in 3 languages, including French. We discover the city from the river side, which is something to do even on a rainy day.

The Neckar runs underneath the Old Bridge in Heidelberg.
Its a 362-kilometre-long river in Germany., a tributary of the Rhine River.
Around the river are some lovely historical building perched on the hill.
Its a favourite location for river cruise boats.

It was a slow journey up the river so if you are in a rush and just want to go go go, then don't do the cruise. reasonable priced $15 euros. and what was cool was the channel lock systems they put into the river. on the cruise you go through two of them and at the other end before turning around is when you see 4 castles which is cool if you haven't seen castles before. the boat turns around and you head back. pretty basic. yummy treats to purchase on boat. beautiful views of the river banks and homes and such. a great way to see Heidelberg and the surrounding towns from the river.

I took the 3 hour round trip (15 e) tour in one of the tour boats. The boat was big enough that the pervasive tobacco smoke wasn't a problem. The scenery and the little town that's 1.5 hours fro Heidelberg is worth an hour's walk to wait for the next boat down river. The boat sells pretty good food and all kinds of beverages.

I ran along the river and found it to be safe and nice scenery. Lots of people in some of the parks. Lots and lots of bikes.

The cruise to Neckarsteinach takes around an hour and a half and costs €17 return. The distance is short but navigating through two lochs makes it a long trip. Do not be fooled by the promise of 4 'castles' which includes the one in Heidelberg. Neckarsteinach is a pretty village destination and the cruise very relaxing sipping a favourite beverage from the boat cafe.

This river is a stunning addition to the already scenic views of Heidelberg. You can take boat tours up and down the river to learn of the history of the area. We did not get a chance to do that and really wish we had.

Three hours on the river sounds great! What company did you use?
Written July 12, 2018
The company or better the group is called “Weise Flotte “ there is also a Solar boat near the old bridge in Heidelberg
Have fun

A Beautiful place to visit and walk on the banks. Cross the bridge and go to Philosophers Walk or go to the zoo. We walked for some time and disappointed that we could not take a boar ride as it was 3 hours long and we did not have that much of time.
