Heidelberg 2 - Philosophenweg

Being a very old university town, Heidelberg has a very cerebral feel to it.  Nowhere is that more evident than the Philosopher's Way, a walk along the hill on the north side of the river, looking across to the town.  One walks straight up a few hundred feet, then walks along the hill parallel to the river.  Several great philosophers and thinkers (none of whom I actually knew) did their thinking up here.  We had a great walk up there on a beautiful day, picked some blackberries off the bushes, and started to walk the rest of the way up the hill to some sort of tower, but lost interest.  A very nice morning.

We're on the Philosopher's Way!  Quick, look smart!

The best ones are always just out of reach!
Weird panorama from the Weg.  Cogitate on THAT, philosophers!
