What you can expect

  • Experience Heidelberg: We combine culture, history and panorama

    Heidelberg is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany and captivates visitors from all over the world. The unique location in the Neckar Valley, the historic old town, and the majestic castle ruins form a backdrop that inspired the poets of the Romantic era.

    To the summit: The Königstuhl

    We start the day with a comfortable ride in a van up to the Königstuhl. Once you reach an altitude of 568 metres, you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city. In good weather, Heidelberg's local mountain offers a breathtaking view over the Neckar Valley, the Rhine Plain, and sometimes even as far as the Vosges Mountains.

    Down to the castle by cable car

    The Heidelberg mountain railway is an attraction in itself. The upper, nostalgic cable car takes us on a slow, steep ride to Molkenkur. From there, the lower train, one of the most modern funiculars in Germany, takes you to the castle in a few minutes. Heidelberg Castle, the epitome of German Romanticism, towers majestically above the city. A walking tour through the castle courtyard and the castle garden reveals the eventful history of the former residence of the Electors Palatine.

    World records and pharmacy history on the castle grounds

    Two special highlights await within the castle walls: In the Königsaal building is the access to the cellar, which houses the legendary Große Fass (Great Barrel). This, the world's largest fillable wine barrel, was made from 130 oak trunks in the 18th century and holds over 219,000 litres of wine. Right next door, the German Pharmacy Museum invites you on a journey through time. The exhibits offer fascinating insights into the history of medicine from antiquity to the 21st century.

    Through the Baroque Old Town

    Now join us on a guided walking tour of the historic old town. As you stroll through the cobblestone streets, you can feel the vibrant atmosphere of the traditional university city. The route leads past baroque town houses, cosy cafes, and buildings steeped in history. Highlights: Heiliggeistkirche, Old Bridge, Zeughaus-Marstall and more…
