The Heidelberg Altstadt and schloss, Neckar River
From where we stay when we visit Heidelberg it is not a long walk to the Heidelberg Altstadt. We hike up a hill via the Philosophenweg, traverse the hillside above the Neckar River (from which the views of the old town are beautiful), descent a steep walkway, and cross a bridge… and we are there.
I made the photograph from this pathway, stopping at a spot where the vegetation is a bit thinner and the view a bit more open. The Neckar River flows past in the foreground, and the footbridge is the route we take across the water to the old town. The castle is on the more distant hill beyond the altstadt.
