O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: Ova vijugava staza kroz šumu Hajligenberg dobila je ime po nemačkom pesniku Fridrihu Helderlinu, koji je tokom boravka u Hajdelbergu lutao upravo ovim stazama. Ruta se proteže na približno 2 kilometra i sadrži 12 stanica sa pesmama i citatima uklesanim u kamene stubove.

Istaknuto: Na najvišoj tački duž staze nalazite Thingstätte, ogroman amfiteatar na otvorenom, sagrađen tridesetih godina prošlog veka, koji danas ugošćava koncerte i događaje pod krošnjama drveća. Malo posetilaca shvata da je stvarna veza Helderlina sa Hajdelbergom bila kratka, ali ova staza ovekovečava njegovu duboku naklonost pejzažu grada u njegovoj pesmi „Hajdelberg“.

Insajderski saveti

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.
