Contrary to what I thought, this was not built by the Romans, but by the third Reich. It was used as a place of gathering and propaganda. But nowadays it's a peaceful place and a good hiking spot. There is a nice view of the city and you can spend some time admitting the scenery.

Good place to take photos. The scenery serves as beautiful backdrop. One has a really nice view over Heidelberg from several other view points and towers around the site. It's also a good place to take a long walk to and just rest on the stairs. Really nice for taking children out and let them explore nature and jump up the stairs.

Breathtaking. I love history and this was very cool. A real aura of power here I think in the little construction details

Amazing place to visit

A must in Heidelberg if you have the time to climb to the hill, there is also a bus that reaches the biergarten. I recommend to go down via Philosophenweg at sunset.

Great walk up from the river. Mr Gobbels left one thingstatte!

Good hike to the top to reach the amphitheatre or you can take a bus and miss out on the views of the city. Incredible acoustics are fun to play around with.

Not a bad location shame the signs are are all in German will have to look online to see what it was about. The road up is horrible I think a cobblestone street is smoother. Worth is for the views of the castle from the tower just before.

Good place to take food and relax

It's OK. Some nice view, nothing too exciting though. There is a bus (connection 38 from Hans-Thoma-Platz) that drives to that place however only from May to November.

Very nice place to have a break during a long road trip.

Nice place, worth visiting!

Good place for people who like history.

Must visit place, if you are planning heidelberg for atleast 3 days. To reach out, a bit if trekking is needed. But the path to go up, it's amazing to trek. 3 stars, because it's just nothing there which amuses you. And also it's not well maintained, for example there were 2 water clogs near the arena and the stairs were filled with grasses. So, if you consider yourself a historian, then you will worth it. Or else, it will jus give you a feel of open theater same like other. But still the trek was total worth it.

The tower was closed... And i heard it has a nice view from the top, wasn't much info about it... Sadly.

An old amphitheatre in ruin can be reached by a short hike from philosophers way. Nice place to chill out offers you a great view of the beautiful Heidelberg city with the Neckar river and the castle. A must visit place in Heidelberg. Ideal location for group picnics in a sunny day.

Nice looking place with interesting history

Fine architecture is always fine architecture, regardless of it's history.

Remarkable site with a interesting history. Worth the climb and a good combination with the 'Philosophers-way'.

A long walk up from town but really worth the effort

Really cool location. Very old monastery ruins and some WW2 history as well.

Nice place
