                Beautiful view from the Philosophenweg of the castle and the Neckar!

                  In winter you can really enjoy a view of the north-eastern side of the castle. There is also a bench.
                  In summer the view may be somewhat restricted.

                    Great views of the castle, the Neckar and the old town are possible from the Philosopher's Walk.
