Heidelberg Off The Beaten Path Tips by Sjalen Top 5 Page for this destination

Kaiserstuhl

Not really "off the beaten path" as lots of people come up here, but its location high up on the peak above the Castle (enlarge the photo to see the masts in the haze) means that it still filters some of the hoardes of tourists who do not want to pay for the expensive fare up here or just do not have time to venture outside the Castle and Old Town. Kaiserstuhl, the "Emperors' Seat", has more than good views of Heidelberg. Being up here, you can see in several directions and therefore a good chunk of Baden-Württemberg in good weather. You can also visit the falconry centre (see first link) with its displays, and for children there is a fairyland park (see second link) so there are things to do up here apart from hiking, which makes it a nice day out.
