เสียงบรรยายนำเที่ยว Heidelberg ทัวร์เดินชม

The Heidelberg Old Town Walk follows the long pedestrian Hauptstrasse from the Kurpfälzisches Museum past Peterskirche, the oldest parish church in town, and the Jesuit Church to the Church of the Holy Spirit on the Marktplatz. From there it climbs to the Kornmarkt, with its best view of the castle on the hillside above, then up the Burgweg to Heidelberg Castle itself and the ruined terraces of its once famous garden. It covers 2 kilometers, about 32 minutes of walking, across 7 stops, with one serious climb near the end.

The Philosophers' Walk starts on the Old Bridge over the Neckar, with the castle sitting above the rooftops behind you, then climbs the steep stone stairway of the Snake Path to the Philosophers' Walk itself, a hillside path where professors and poets have come for two centuries to think and to look. It covers 2.4 kilometers, about 40 minutes of walking, across 5 stops, and it rewards the climb with the view every painter of Heidelberg has used.

From the viewpoint the path drops gently through the quiet villa streets of Neuenheim, crosses back over the river at the Theodor Heuss Bridge, and ends at Bismarckplatz, the busiest square in town, where the calm of the hillside gives way to trams and buses again. Both walks are flat for most of their length, so the climbs, not the distance, are what to plan around.
