The Leopoldstein, located in Heidelberg's city forest, is a historical memorial stone dating back to 1851. The monument commemorates Charles I Frederick Leopold, Grand Duke of Baden, who assumed the reins of government of the Duchy of Baden in 1830 as the fourth Grand Duke. The monument, once 2.5 m high, was damaged in the 1950s. Location The memorial stone for the Grand Duke is located on the Höhenweg, approximately 450 m south of the Haus der Astronomie educational institution, immediately at a star-shaped fork in the path that leads in seven different directions through Heidelberg's city forest. All hiking trails are marked on site by historical signposts. (Source: https://www.wikiwand.com/de/articles/Leopoldstein_(Heidelberg)
