概要

クイックファクト: This winding path through the Heiligenberg forest was named after the German poet Friedrich Hölderlin, who wandered these very trails during his time in Heidelberg. The route stretches roughly 2 kilometers and features 12 stations with poems and quotes carved into stone pillars.

見どころ: At the highest point along the trail, you'll find the Thingstätte, a massive open-air amphitheater built in the 1930s that now hosts concerts and events under the canopy of trees. Few visitors realize that Hölderlin's actual connection to Heidelberg was brief, yet this trail immortalizes his deep affection for the city's landscape in his poem "Heidelberg."

インサイダーヒント

  • Start at the Philosophenweg (Philosopher's Walk) and follow the signs upward, the trail ends near the Thingstätte where you can rest and enjoy the view.
  • Bring a copy of Hölderlin's poem 'Heidelberg' to read at the stations, it adds a whole new layer of meaning to the experience.
  • Visit on a weekday morning if you want the trail almost entirely to yourself, weekends draw locals and hikers.
  • The stone pillars make excellent photo subjects, especially in the soft light of late afternoon when the carvings cast long shadows.
