Om
Snabba fakta: Denna slingrande stig genom Heiligenbergskogen fick sitt namn efter den tyske poeten Friedrich Hölderlin, som vandrade på just dessa stigar under sin tid i Heidelberg. Rutten sträcker sig cirka 2 kilometer och har 12 stationer med dikter och citat inristade i stenpelare.
Höjdpunkter: På stigens högsta punkt hittar du Thingstätte, en massiv friluftsanläggning i amfiteaterstil byggd på 1930-talet som nu huserar konserter och evenemang under trädkronorna. Få besökare inser att Hölderlins faktiska koppling till Heidelberg var kort, ändå odödliggör denna stig hans djupa tillgivenhet för stadens landskap i sin dikt "Heidelberg".
Insidertips
- 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.
