About this audio guide
This guide to the Schlangenweg in Heidelberg, the steep zigzag stair from the Old Bridge up to the Philosophers' Way, reads the hillside as a working slope rather than a viewpoint. It follows the vines that once covered these terraces, the sun-baked drystone walls and the creatures hiding in them, and what the hill grew once the wine moved on. Listen as you climb, with a hand on the warm stone.
