The baroque Karl-Theodor-Bridge (better known as the Old Bridge), one of the most famous sights in town, die als eine der bekanntesten Sehenswürdigkeiten in Heidelberg gilt, connects the old town with the opposite Neuenheimer banks of the river Neckarufer.

HEIDELBERG Castle and Castle Park

Anyone who has ever been able to take a look at Heidelberg and the Neckar Valley from the world-famous Heidelberg Castle, as Liselotte von der Pfalz once did or

or was enchanted by the magical sounds of the Philharmonic Orchestra at a concert in the romantic castle courtyard on a warm summer night, will not forget Heidelberg for the rest of his life – we promise!

 

Heidelberg Castle is the epitome of German Romanticism and probably the most famous ruin in the world.For centuries the residence of the Palatinate Electors and destroyed by war and natural forces, the Heidelberg Castle with its Hortus Palatinus Castle Garden is one of the most important cultural monuments in Germany today.

PHILOSOPHER'S Trail

Just a few footsteps from our hotel entrance begins the Philosopher’s Trail, which leads up to the Heiligenberg in a steep climb that meanders through the streets of Neuenheim.

Once at the top, you will be rewarded, like Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Clemens von Brentano and Josef von Eichendorff, with an unforgettably beautiful view of Heidelberg, the castle and the sun-kissed Neckar Valley.

Incidentally, you can also combine the Philosopher’s Trail with a Segway tour. For further information click here.

NECKARWIESE (Neckar Meadow)
