There are no signs pointing the way to the ruins. Somewhat overgrown inside.

Whether it's worth it or not is something you'll have to ask yourself after the somewhat slippery climb up here... I liked it a lot

The ruin of a medieval hill fort is located here above the Ehrbach.

It was built during the Eltzer feud (1331–1336) as a defensive castle by Elector Baldwin of Luxembourg. The use was not long, so that it soon fell into ruins.

The inner courtyard is almost completely surrounded by a wall.

You can reach it after a short, but at the end relatively steep detour from Ehrbach (to the left of the small waterfall it goes up).
