About Königstuhl
The Königstuhl (567 m) is Heidelberg’s local mountain. From the Neckar the road climbs past the castle through forest to a view over the Rhine plain.
In rampida you ride the route exactly as it lies on the road: the gradient reaches your trainer metre by metre, the scenery is built from real elevation data and OpenStreetMap. A pacer group can pull you along, and next time you race your own ghost.
