White Stone and Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is a beer garden with good food, a playground, a few animals, and the walk-in tower. Always worth a visit. The game dishes are recommended. When we are here, we also usually take some deer or wild boar ham from the counter.

Thingstätte Heidelberg Amphitheatre

Highlight • Historical Site

Mythical place with historically interesting and frightening past. On 30.04. There is always Walpurgis Night, a tolerated but illegal event that draws thousands of people up there to spend the night there with fire breathers, drummers, etc.

During the day great destination with beautiful hiking trails, views and mountain bike trails.

Heiligenberg Thing Site

Highlight • Historical Site

The Heidelberg Thingstätte is an open-air stage on the Heiligenberg near Heidelberg that was built during the Nazi era, ostensibly based on the model of ancient Greek theaters.

The foundation stone for the "Thingstätte Heidelberg" was laid on May 30, 1934, and on June 22, 1935 it was opened under the new name "Feierstätte Heiligenberg" by Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. It played an important role in the Thing movement, which quickly became insignificant. After the complex lay idle in the post-war years, occasional events were held there again and the name "Thingstätte" was generally used again. Until 2018 it was mainly used for unofficial Walpurgis Night celebrations. The complex is a protected cultural monument.

Heidelberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

The huge castle of Heidelberg is itself as a ruin one of the most beautiful castles of Germany. Unlike Neuschwanstein Castle, Heidelberg Castle has a history of almost 900 years. Its foundation goes back to Konrad the Staufer, half brother of King Friedrich Barbarossa, who relocated his seat of rule to Heidelberg around 1180. In the centuries of its existence, the enormous fortification was repeatedly expanded, besieged, conquered and damaged. The greatest devastation suffered the palace in the Palatinate War of Succession, when the victorious French blew up large parts of the castle. For many years, the ruin fell into ruin and was partially restored only from the late 19th century. Today, the castle is lovingly maintained and houses a medieval museum and the German Pharmacy Museum. Opening times and entrance fees can be found at schloss-heidelberg.de/besucherinformation/preise
