プファルツ選帝侯のおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

very good food, nice host.

Starting point

The small car park above Heidelberg Castle is located right at the foot of the "Stairway to Heaven". The staircase made of natural steps leads steeply up to the "Königsstuhl". The "Neckarsteig" also begins at the car park, directly with the "Stairway to Heaven".

It's good to take a short rest on the bench when going up or down. What's more, now in winter you can also catch a glimpse of the Neckar between the trees 🌳 🌳 🌳.

The Berg-Gasthof Königstuhl is located on the highest point in Heidelberg, directly above the famous castle. At an altitude of 570 meters, the inn offers a breathtaking view of the city and the surrounding countryside. The inn has a restaurant called Bergstube, which is open daily from 12 noon and offers hot meals throughout. In addition to the restaurant, there is also a hotel with 62 rooms that combines history and modern comfort.

At the foot of the Stairway to Heaven and a little above the castle is the free hiking car park. There aren't many parking spaces, but there is usually something available. An absolute insider tip.

The bench offers a nice place to rest during the difficult Königstuhl ascent or descent via the Himmelsleiter. You also have a wonderful view.
