Editing Heidelberg (section)

== Sight Seeing ==

You can do the Heidelberg Walk which covers almost everything important sight-seeing wise in one day, but which can be extended to last a bit longer.

In short for your favorite routing program:

* Hauptbahnhof
* Uferstraße
* Ladenburger Straße
* Philosophenweg
* Schlangenweg
* Alte Brücke
* Altstadt (including Untere Straße)
* kurzer Buckel (steps up to the Schloss)
* Himmelsleiter (up to the Königsstuhl)
* and back to the Hauptbahnhof

=== Extensions ===

You could walk through Handschusheim and visit the Tiefburg. From there you could walk up the Heiligen Berg and maybe find the Thingstädte and some ruins of a former monestary. Then make your way back down to Philosophenweg visiting the Bismarck Tower and enjoy the view over the Altstadt. Within the Altstadt you can explore the small alleys and spend a few hours doing touristy stuff. Once up on the Schloss, you can visit the Great Barrell and maybe join a guided tour around the castle. If you don't feel like sweating or hiking at that point, just leave the Königsstuhl out. But if you do, do it, you will find the nicest view over Heidelberg up there :)
