The Neckar is not only a defining feature of Heidelberg’s landscape but also a central link between nature, the cityscape, and daily life. It flows through the city from east to west and forms the boundary between the historic Old Town and the district of Neuenheim, where the BS Boutique Hotel Heidelberg is located. The Neckarwiese lies directly on the river’s north bank - one of the largest urban green spaces in Heidelberg and just a short walk from the hotel.
The Neckarwiese stretches for several hundred meters along the riverside and offers an unobstructed view of the castle, the Old Bridge, and the Old Town skyline. It is popular with both locals and visitors - whether for walking, jogging, sunbathing, or enjoying a picnic with a view. Especially in the warmer months, it becomes a lively meeting place for students, families, tourists, and strollers.
Thanks to its location opposite the Old Town, the Neckarwiese blends urban life with open landscape. A paved path runs along the river and is ideal for morning runs or relaxed evening walks - even starting directly from the BS Boutique Hotel. The meadow is also barrier-free and offers plenty of space for outdoor activity without having to leave the city center.
For guests staying at our hotel in Heidelberg, the area by the Neckar is an ideal place to unwind or start the day actively. Whether enjoying the view of the illuminated castle at dusk or relaxing in the afternoon sun - the immediate proximity to the river is one of the features that make our location special.
