プランクシュタットの絶景の山頂・トップ15

The Gaisberg Tower in Heidelberg is a monument that stands at the transition from the small plateau of the high Gaisberg to the north-west slope. It was designed by the architect Fritz Seitz and built in 1876 by the Heidelberg Castle Association. Very nice to look at with a good view.

From Kornmarkt to Molkenkur there are modern carriages, from Molkenkur to Königstuhl you drive in a nostalgic carriage.

With summit cross and summit book 😊

If it wasn't there, you wouldn't believe it :-)

Historical technical masterpiece that saves the steep ascent.

The Heidelberg mountain railway is a combination of two funicular railways. The "Molkenkurbahn" runs from the Kornmarkt, past Heidelberg Castle, to the Molkenkur. There you change to the "Königstuhlbahn". The upper mountain railway is the oldest funicular railway in Baden-Württemberg. In 2004, the upper mountain railway was entered in its entirety as a cultural monument in the monument book of the state of Baden-Württemberg.

The path over the Mount of Olives leads partly along the edge of the Schriesheim quarry and is steep and narrow in places and quite slightly demanding. From above you have a great view of the quarry and the Rhine plain, and when the weather is clear you can see as far as the Palatinate Forest.

The trees in front of the tower were recently "trimmed" - you now have a nice view of the Rhine plain again. Addendum 1/24: The Gaisberg Tower was built from the remains of the "Trutzkaiser" - a defensive structure destroyed in the 30 Years' War that once stood further down the Gaisberg.
