Heidelberg is just a fantastic place to be. It is amazing in its own right, but it is also just so well connected to so many amazing places at really reasonable rates on the S-Bahn network. You have little towns like Speyer, with its Cathedral and Technology Museum and Schwetzingen with its amazing palace and gardens. You have bigger cities such as Mannheim only 15 minutes away, and you have so many beautiful countryside villages that are accessible by boat, bike and even on foot. NeckarsteigThere is the Nekarsteig, which is a walk/bike trail that goes from Heidelberg to Bad Wimpfen. That is a 128km trail through the mountains, wineries and villages of the Neckar Valley. Neuberger AbbeyIf you are just in for a half-day walk you can cross the Neckar over to the Philosopher’s Path and turn right instead of left and head out for about 6 hours to the Benedictine Monastery in Neuberg. It is still home to about half a dozen Benedictine Monks, but there are many places you can go to look around. Then you can head down to the Neckar and come back to Heidelberg by ship to top your day off. Neckartal RadwegIf you have some serious time on your hands then you might like to hit the Neckartal-Radweg (Neckar Valley Bike path) for a 366km bike ride along the banks of the Neckar River from Villingen-Schwenningen to Ludwigshafen.
On top of that you have the Weisse Flotte Heidelberg, which will take you anywhere tou want to go, as long as you want to go there by boat.
