Visitor address and access
Main entrance at Rohrbacher Straße 115; additional Steigerweg entrances serve the higher terraces. Confirm the intended meeting point before arriving on the hillside grounds.
Use that access information as the starting point for Heidelberg Bergfriedhof, especially when the destination is a named section or an appointment rather than a general walk. The visitor address identifies the cemetery, while the most useful entrance depends on the purpose of the visit.
Public transport
Tram 23 or 24 to Bergfriedhof or West-/Südstadt; S-Bahn S1 or S2 to West-/Südstadt. Choose the entrance appropriate to the destination’s level.
For a public-transport journey to Heidelberg Bergfriedhof, compare the stop or station in that guidance with Rohrbacher Straße 115, 69126 Heidelberg and the intended entrance. This avoids planning only to the cemetery boundary when the destination lies elsewhere within the grounds.
