Hiking

The majestic Ehrenfels Castle is located directly on the slope of the Niederwald forest. It was probably built in 1211 and has watched over the Rhine ever since. Although the castle is "only" a ruin, it is still impressive and can be viewed from the outside.

Hiking

you have to hike one floor down to get to the castle ruins. We are not allowed into the castle either, but a beautiful Sleeping Beauty Castle from the outside.
