Old Bridge (Karl-Theodor-Bridge), Heidelberg

Highlight • Bridge

Heidelberg is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany. The combination of romantically wooded hills that run along the Neckar, the beautiful old town with its winding streets, the castle and the Old Bridge and the traditional university make the city so unique.

Schlangenweg (Snake Path) Heidelberg

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

I'd rather go up than down. You have to be careful when going down. The views further up are really, really beautiful and the ascent was worth it at the latest!
