Embark on the Heidelberg Audio Tour: Echoes of Legacy from Barracks to Cemeteries

Beneath Heidelberg’s fairy-tale rooftops, shadows of rival armies and scientific secrets lie hidden in plain sight. This self-guided audio tour cracks open the city’s polished surface, leading you through alleyways where history made its loudest noise and quietest bargains.

What happened in Mountain Cemetery, when soldiers’ graves became a stage for bittersweet reunions after war? Why did Allied Command Europe Mobile Forces leave cryptic traces on Heidelberg’s streets, and who risked everything to send silent signals beneath the city walls? What sparked a notorious scandal behind the stately doors of Helmholtz-Gymnasium?

Feel tension linger in timeworn squares, stride past old watchposts, and let forgotten dramas resurface with every step. The city unfolds as a living theatre of ambition, betrayal, and hope, transforming your stroll into something far deeper than sightseeing.

The next story waits just around the corner. Are you ready to uncover Heidelberg’s hidden heart?
