Cycle through Heidelberg, a charming city in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, beautifully located along the banks of the Neckar River. With its romantic setting and historic atmosphere, Heidelberg is a delight to explore at a relaxed pace.
As you ride through the city, enjoy the iconic Karl Theodor Bridge, better known as the Old Bridge, complete with its historic Old Bridge Gate. From here, take in wonderful views of the old town and look up to see the impressive ruins of Heidelberg Castle (Heidelberger Schloss), dramatically rising above the rooftops and dominating the hillside.
Heidelberg is also famous for its academic heritage. The city is home to Germany’s oldest university, founded in 1368, which has shaped Heidelberg’s lively and intellectual character for centuries. Another important landmark is the Church of the Holy Spirit (Heiliggeistkirche), the largest church in the city. Built between 1398 and 1515, it showcases a beautiful combination of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. Together, these sights make Heidelberg a truly unforgettable destination.
