Getting There

• Public Transport

  Start at Heidelberg Hauptbahnhof (the main train station). Take the tram line 5 towards 'Heidelberg Kirchheim'. After 4 stops, get off at 'Bergheim'. From the tram stop, walk straight ahead on Bergheimer Straße until you reach the intersection with Eppelheimer Straße. Turn left onto Eppelheimer Straße and continue walking for about 15 minutes until you reach the entrance to the Stadtwald. Enter the Stadtwald and follow the signs for the hiking trails leading to Klingenteichwasserfall. The waterfall is approximately a 20-minute walk from the entrance.

• Walking

  If you are already in the Altstadt (Old Town), start at the Marktplatz (Market Square). Walk up the Hauptstraße toward the Philosophenweg (Philosopher's Walk). After about 15 minutes, look for a path leading into the woods on your right. Follow the trail signs for Klingenteichwasserfall, which will lead you through the forest for about 25 minutes until you reach the waterfall.

• Bicycle

  If you are renting a bicycle, start at the Neckar River promenade. Ride east along the riverbank towards the Old Bridge (Alte Brücke). Cross the bridge and follow the signs for the cycling path leading into the Stadtwald. Once you enter the woods, follow the cycling paths towards Klingenteichwasserfall. The ride will take approximately 30 minutes, depending on your speed.
