View of Heidelberg Old Town and Castle from Philosophenweg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Philosophenweg is known for being able to take great photo opportunities from the castle. From here you can also get to the Thingstätte and Michaelskloster. Definitely worth seeing.

September 24, 2023,HD | HDTM23 / Base-Trail

Exhausting but satisfied 🥵😃 with recycled cover photo. My first organized trail run.

The actual route was slightly different from yesterday. Findings of the day: Most of the trail runners on the route were mountain hikers, people with poles aren't necessarily fast uphill. Sometimes less is more.

September 21, 2025,Heidelberg Trail Marathon - Base Trail ⛰️⛅️⏱️

Berlin was too far away today!

So, the Heidelberg Trail Marathon is much closer: after 48K last year, this time the Base Trail is 20.4K.

Besides the beautiful trails, another advantage: reaching the finish line two hours faster than would be possible in Berlin 😉
