Village fortifié moyen-âgeux. Jolie vue sur le Neckar et Neckarsteinach (ville aux quatre châteaux forts/ deux en ruine) depuis les murs du rempart. Surtout intéressant en été car on peut visiter le château fort en partie en ruine et surtout le Souterrain (payant)(passage secret entre le puits de la Cour et le flan de la colline. Représentation théâtrale dans le théâtre en plein air en juin/juillet (Informations Internet Neckargemuend Dilsberg pour les visites château/Souterrain et représentations. Bon restaurant (die Sonne). Pique-nique possible dans le jardin du château (gratuit), belle vue sur les environs. Grand parking (gratuit) sur la montée. Très bons chocolats à la chocolaterie (mais consulter les horaires d'ouverture à l'Internet), belle ambiance. Petit Café avec Glaces (pipifax). Jolie maison à colombage à visiter à l'entrée après la Porte du village, on peut y acheter des souvenirs artisanaux divers (poteries, lingerie...). Lieu agréable en été quand il fait très chaud dans la vallée. Terrain de jeu pour enfants.
Dilsberg is definitely worth visiting for those in the area. This cute little village is located on top of a hill close to Heidelberg and offers cobble-stoned little streets, small restaurants, shops, and an old castle ruin. The castle ruin visit will allow the visitor a wonderful view over the Neckar Valley and beyond. A must-visit is the little Chocolaterie im Gasthaus zur Burg where the guest will appreciate attention to detail and will be able to enjoy wonderfully home-baked goods in addition to out-of-this-world chocolate, and other soul-warming dishes.
Great place for a short Picnic trip. View from castle top can be breathtaking. A very nice small town with few restaurants and friendly people.
Dilsberg is a fortified hilltop town with a castle overlooking a bend in the Neckar a few km outside Neckargemund. The town is quite small (parking available just below the town gate - no traffic in the citadel) with few facilities (well maintained with much half-timbering), but offers some breathtaking views over the Neckar valley (a good view from the church's graveyard!). The castle is largely a ruin (2 Euro entrance, gift kiosk, toilets), but by climbing the main tower and walking along the curtain wall, you will get one of the best views around. Worth a detour and possibly worth seeing the entrance to the underground gallery/well (gated) hidden away in the Schlossgarten. Unusual.
If you're in Heidelberg and have some extra time you should visit Dilsberg. It is a quaint town, small, with narrow roads, full of beauty shown in their buildings and houses. There is little else to do, since it's a small town, but you can enjoy some warm chocolate and cake at the little restaurant (the owner has been featured in books). In winter I recommend you come well covered, it is very cold, but worth the short trip from Heidelberg.
I love this town, it is full of charm, character and is just so small and quaint I don't know who wouldn't love visiting it! Beautiful views of the region await those who want to walk up the tower stairs to the top, but for those who don't, wandering the tiny streets of this small village are just as charming, bringing one back to an authentic Medieval German town. This village is perfect combined with a visit to the two castle ruins right across the valley/river from Dilsberg.Here is the link to my blog post on Dilsberg: http://hiddeningermany.blogspot.ca/2012/07/burg-dilsberg.htmlAnd here is the link to the three ruins across the river from Dilsberg, which are equally as stunning to visit: http://hiddeningermany.blogspot.ca/2011/06/schwalbennest-and-alt-schadeck-ruins.html
EIne wunderschön gelegene romantische Burg. Mit Turm. Für Kinder spannend, für Erwachsene ein Erlebnis. Rundumblick in den Kraichgau und in den Odenwald, sowie auf die Neckarschleife.
Dilsberg is never been conquered. No wonder, looking at the steep hill, the vast walls. It is quite charming ! When you enter it through the old gates, there is a youth hostel to the left, a lovely pottery and a "must go to" chocolaterie to the right. Had the best hot chocolate I ever tried.
If it isn't a clear day don't go for the views from the top. A small old village with a couple of bar / restaurants and a castle. The views of the surrounding Neckar are superb. Those in a wheelchair or with bad mobility will struggle to get around.
We took the Rail/bus from Heidelberg to this amazing little village on the top of a hill near the Neckar River. Old castle ruins at the top provide a great view of the valley below. Lovely fall colors and narrow hillside streets of cobble-stone created a wonderful atmosphere for enjoying the view or some chocolate at the Chocolaterie where the sign says: " Das Beste Zum SchuluB" :)
