Philosophenweg

Thursday November 5th
Philossophenweg, German for Philosopher's road, is the path carved into the Heiligenberg where the philosophers, professors, and students of the university would walk and discuss whatever was on their mind.

Easy to get to from Bismarckplatz and having already been here for two months, it was past due that I took this road, and the weather yesterday was perfect so we went. From here, one can look down onto the Neckar and the Altstadt. It does not take long to figure out why it was named philosopher's road. This road is great place to walk (or jog) and think.

Once you walk passed the old town you take more notice of the mountainous geography, especially in the fall when the leaves turn color.
