Nevertheless, the old walls exude charm and history. If you’re on foot, you can hike up to the Schlossberg hill on which the castle stands, from where the neat houses of the student associations are visible. Visitors looking for a less strenuous trip can take the historic cog railway to the top. You can park your rental car directly in the mountain station’s parking garage. From the Schlossberg, visitors can enjoy a magnificent panorama over the old town, including the Church of the Holy Spirit. The best view of the castle is on the Philosophenweg on the other side of the Neckar river.
