A famous walking path on the hillside north of the Neckar River, offering magnificent views of the Altstadt, Heidelberg Castle, and the Neckar Valley. Running through steep vineyards and orchards, it provided inspiration to Hegel and countless German Romantics. Above lies the Thingstätte, a Nazi-era amphitheatre amid the ruins of the Heiligenberg.
