Map / Philosophenweg

Auf dem Naturbalkon des Philosophenwegs sitzt jeder Zuschauer in der ersten Reihe und kann Natur und Ausblick auf die Stadt gleichzeitig auf sich wirken lassen.

Ungeschützt gedeihen auf dieser Klima-Insel, die zu den wärmsten Stellen Deutschlands zählt, die Exoten: japanische Wollmistel und amerikanische Zypresse, spanischer Ginster und portugiesische Kirsche, Zitrone und Granatapfel, Bambus, Palmen, Pinien. Alles blüht um Wochen früher als im Tal. Einst wandelten hier Gelehrte in steifen Gehröcken und lockerten ihre Gedanken beim Spaziergang: Der Heidelberger Philosophenweg am Sonnenhang des Heiligenberges führte schon manchen zu neuen Einsichten, auf jeden Fall aber zu einmaligen Ansichten Heidelbergs. Von diesem Platz an der Sonne aus, dessen mildes Klima und Vegetation an die Toskana erinnern, lässt sich der "Heidelberger Dreiklang" von Altstadt, Fluss und Bergen in Muße genießen.
