Nice place as an ideal starting point for tours or for a break in between. In summer there is a kiosk directly on the Neckarlauer with seating and a great view of the river and the jetty. Alternatively, you can also go for ice cream at the “Hemp Market”. Beautiful, obvious destinations: Dilsberg, Neckarsteinach, Hirschhorn (with castle), Eberbach or Heidelberg (castle, Philosophenweg, old town).

Here at the corner of the shopping street is the Cafe Tagblatt. Lots of seating outside in the summer, but the inside is also well worth seeing.
