August 26, 2024,Ruine Ehrenberg – Schlossberg

I've driven under the suspension bridge so many times on the way home after a hike and was always too exhausted to do it. Today it was perfect. With a parking fee of €5 and a €10 fee for the suspension bridge, it's not really cheap, but I thought it was really cool.
If you want to go up by …

Today we went to Reutte 🇦🇹 to the Ehrenberg Castle World 🏰 and I have to say, a lot has happened here since our last visit in October 2019. Since 2023, there's not only the Ehrenberg Liner, but also the Top Liner, which takes you up to the Schlosskopf Fortress. But we could resist 😅 and took a leisurely walk …

An easy hike with steeper parts in places. Great view. You should have a head for heights to cross the valley via the suspension bridge. She swings pretty hard. Entry costs €8. A very nice hike that was a lot of fun for my 8 year old son.

Hello everyone 🙋‍♀️,
We have driven through Austria's Reutte on the B 179 🚗 on the way to Lake Ledro 🌊 in Italy many times. We drove under the Highline 179 and looked up in amazement at the suspension bridge 🌉. I wanted to go over it 🫣. Today we made it happen 😍. We arrived yesterday and as soon …

Conclusion and highlight of a wonderful holiday: a tour to the Highline 179, the gigantic suspension bridge in Reutte/Austria and to the Ehrenberg castle ruins right next door.
Fantastic views and a castle ruin that was fantastically decorated for the Lumagica made this day an unforgettable experience 🤍🇦🇹

Up to Schlosskopf Fortress, from there down to Ehrenberg Castle. Before the castle was explored, we first went over the Highline over to Fort Claudia, back again over the wobbly suspension bridge...very cool.... Then Ehrenberg Castle was explored.
Then things turned out differently than expected, when my wife saw the DragonFly zipline, we used it down.😊
More is not possible …

Went down again and 🚶 hiked back down to the Klause. 😅 Of course, took lots and lots of pictures again. 😀

Instead of the announced 70% sunshine, there was 70% rain - the Ehrenberger Burgenwelt offered itself for that. A beautiful round that includes all the highlights. You should plan extra time for visiting the ruins, as there are very good boards with descriptions and the facilities had to be explored down to the last corner, especially by the boys. The …
