Beautiful viewing bench at the access to the Ehrenberg castle ruins. From here it is only a few minutes up to the complex. At the same time, there is a lot to offer here: the highline179 spans spectacularly across the valley, Zipline and Ehrenberg Liner start nearby.

Höfen / Reutte in Austria: Every hiker should visit the suspension bridge near the Ehrenberg Castle ruins (as long as they are "sea-loving"), as it is both an experience and a change of scenery.
