We used the funicular to get to the castle. We went to the Molkenkur as well because it was included in the ticket, but not much there. Only a place to get a snack and the transfer to the historical tram. Nice way to get to the castle and back without climbing the hill. The funicular ticket includes entrance to... More

Lower part is modern one, but from Molkenkur to Konigstuhl old authentic wagon is travelling. Nice to try and on top you'll find spectacular view!

To see the Heidelberg Castle, take the funicular for a neat ride up the hill. Park in the #12 garage and gain direct access to buy tickets for the funicular and castle courtyard there for 6 euro per person. Well worth the ride for a unique experience.

I'd not planned for a trip up to the hill top on railway wagon ( funicular ) and just stumbled on it. It was an excellent experience. A modern train takes one up to half the way crossing the castle.

Up to the castle and wonderful grounds. You also get to see a bit of a museum recounting the history of the Bergbahn.

We went right to the top, great views over the Neckar valley and Heidelberg. Good place to start hiking from at the top. Do not use it to go to the castle, much better to walk up ( unless you cannot manage all the steps 300+). Can get very busy, so go early.
