Heidelberg Castle, Philosophers’ Way & more – sights on your boat tour

One of the highlights of your tour is undoubtedly Heidelberg Castle, which towers majestically over the Old Town. This Renaissance marvel blends harmoniously into the landscape, tells stories of times gone by and provides a spectacular backdrop for your tour on the Neckar.

Another sight not to be missed on your tour is the Old Bridge (Karl-Theodor-Brücke), an 18th century architectural masterpiece that connects the two banks of the Neckar. The bridge and its sculptures are particularly impressive up close and provide a wonderful backdrop for your photos.

During your trip on the Neckar, you will also pass Heidelberg’s Old Town, whose picturesque alleyways and historic buildings exude a very special charm from the water. Let yourself be carried away by the lively atmosphere that makes this old town so unique.

Don’t forget the Philosophers’ Way, which stretches along the opposite bank of the Neckar. From your boat, you have a marvellous view of this famous hiking trail, which is known for its breathtaking views of Heidelberg and its surroundings.
