The "Mountain Cemetery" (Bergfriedhof) in Heidelberg opened in 1844 and is located on Gaisberg Mountain. The largest of the city, it is protected as a cultural heritage site. The park-like grounds display many elaborate grave markers and historical family plots. It is fairly large with about 20 km/12.5 miles of pathways. 22 large display plaques and 58 smaller display signs guide visitors towards grave sites of famous people, the likes of Friedrich Ebert, Charles de Graimberg, Ernst Fries, Robert Wilhelm Bunsen oder Carl Bosch. A free brochure is available to assist. The cemetery is open year round.
