Bergfriedhof (Mountain Graveyard) – Fire, Earth and Immortality (10230)

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.
