Who is Heidelberg Lodges?

"For a Real Restful Vacation come to New Braunfels"

Heidelberg Lodges is located on the beautiful Comal River in New Braunfels, Texas within easy walking distance of Schlitterbahn. The riverside resort has been offering accommodations to tourists visiting New Braunfels since the 1930s. Heidelberg Lodges offers a unique setting to visitors any time of year. Our cottages offer all the conveniences of home and are nestled under towering pecan trees, overlooking the crystal clear Comal Springs where the Comal River actually begins. In the summer, relax by the pool or float in the cool, crystal clear waters of the Comal River. Perhaps you would like to spend a quiet morning fishing or reading by the bank of the river. Take a leisurely canoe ride in the afternoon. Then head out to a great dinner at one of the many nice restaurants in New Braunfels within close vicinity to the resort. Heidelberg Lodges is open year-round, and we cater to Winter Texans. We offer extended stay packages to those traveling to the Hill Country for the winter months. Heidelberg Lodges is located just minutes from many of New Braunfels’ attractions, so it is easy to load up and head out for some fun anytime.

A bit of history about the Heidelberg Lodges. Heidelberg Lodges established in 1935 originally as Camp Ulbricht.

Ulbricht's Summer Resort

On the banks of the Comal River, within the city limits are Camp Warnecke, Camp Ulbricht, and Camp Giesecke. Accommodations are modern here, where cooling gulf breezes fan the city, which is located just below the escarpment of the Edwards Plateau at the entrance to the scenic Southwest Texas "Hill Country."

With the purchase and consolidation of the headwaters properties by the city, and with the establishment of nearby resort parks like Camps Giesecke, Ulbricht's, and Warnecke (more on those farther down this page*), New Braunfels grew into the epicenter of regional water recreation. When new interstate highways opened in the late 1950s, all the elements were in place for a regional synergy. Since San Antonio and the Alamo are only 30 miles away, families in station wagons from far and wide could spend a few days exploring the historic missions and battlegrounds of old San Antonio, and then spend a few days basking in the natural aquatic wonders of New Braunfels.
