O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Ta vijugasta pot skozi Heiligenberški gozd je poimenovana po nemškem pesniku Friedrichu Hölderlinu, ki je v času svojega bivanja v Heidelbergu hodil prav po teh poteh. Pot meri približno 2 kilometra in ima 12 postaj s pesmami in citati, vklesanimi v kamene stebre.

Poudarki: Na najvišji točki ob poti boste našli Thingstätte, velikansko prosto amfiteater, zgrajeno v 1930. letih, ki zdaj gosti koncerte in prireditve pod krošnjami drev. Le malokdo zaveda, da je Hölderlinova dejanska povezava s Heidelbergom bila kratka, vendar ta pot ovekovječi njegovo globoko naklonost do pokrajine mesta v njegovi pesmi "Heidelberg".

Notranji nasveti

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.
