Beautiful path from Heidelberg's old town up to the Karlsschanze at the castle

Hiking

Alternatively, this path takes you to the "Alter Buckel" path and its steps and the cable car up to Heidelberg Castle. Every now and then you have a view of the part of Heidelberg below.

Gravel riding

The Schlossweg in Heidelberg is the classic, direct connection between the historic old town and the world-famous Heidelberg Castle. It is much more than just a simple footpath; for many visitors, it is the first „adventure“ to climb up to the majestic ruin.
