The castle Ehrenfels is the ruin of a Hangburg west of Rüdesheim am Rhein halfway to Assmannshausen in the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis in Hesse. It stands on the northeastern bank of the Rhine on the steep slope of the Rüdesheimer Berg, it is a former customs castle.

Nice hike through the vineyards to the castle ruins with a view of the Rhine and the Mouse Tower.
That must be a dream in the fall.
