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.

The Felsenmeer is a nature reserve. On both sides of the path there are many sandstone rocks covered with mosses and lichens. Among other things, black pines, oaks, birches and horsetails grow.

there are a lot of stones lying around

The Felsenmeer is located in the Heidelberg city forest, south of Schlierbach. The ice-age heap of rock from the weathering products of the Buntsandstein on the north-east slope of the Königstuhl is home to vegetation of oaks, birches, rowan berries and sweet chestnuts and is rich in mosses and lichens.

Pure nature, great views, mystical path through the mossy rocks! Deserted, the alternative to the overcrowded steps and mountain railway !!!

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.

Nice to see the sequoias here too.

Beautifully designed Aboretum, which invites you to linger. Interesting sculptures next to interesting plantings.
