Scenic Walk

Gorgeous walk across the river from the Old Town. Can stay on the path past small garden plots into the forest or hike up the mountain. Stunning views out over the river.

Start the walk by old town bridge- side opposite old town. Starts off through a stoned pathway which is nice and shaded. It is steep but views from points are fabulous! Not a whole lot to see along the path but good excercise.

A lovely walk

Thanks to TripAdvisor comments, we decided to walk on the Philosopher's way. It was really nice, peaceful with a beautiful view on Heidelberg and the castle. As recommended, we started by Theodor Heuss Brucke.

Great Views

It's quite the mini "hike" - its an incline and will make you sweat. Wear some good shoes if it's raining - otherwise, good luck~! Beautiful views and a few stopping points along the way. It's a bit touristy - but overall, best way to...More

A difficult climb up from the river bank

It is a cobbled path and steep stairwell from the riverbank. Once on the actual path it is much easier going.

Thank KingBillie
