Description
Concealed behind high walls on a former vineyard and deliberately designed as a park, Heidelberg‘s Bergfriedhof surprises with its new Garten der Kulturen (Garden of Cultures). Poetry readings are held in a pavilion. Botanical treasures and monumental graves ornamentally line the paths. Familiar names of famous Heidelberg citizens bring to mind the relevance of this city in past centuries.
Note:
The tour must begin before twilight.
Tours on Saturdays exclude the Jewish part of the graveyard.
Male participants must cover their heads while in the Jewish graveyard.
