Culture and nature unite on this 15-kilometer route. The limestone and spring moors of the Riedener See with their rare animal and plant species represent the sensitive and finely structured landscape of the region on one side. On the other side, the Ehrenberg castle ensemble is an example of the cultural and demographic interventions of humans in their environment.

In the Footsteps of Knights and CountsSouth of Reutte, a castle tour allows you to combine hiking and sightseeing. Four fortresses once stood guard around the valley gorge, which served as a strategically important route toward the Fern Pass. Ehrenberg Castle was built as early as the 13th century. It was attacked time and again and therefore expanded more and more until it became the largest fortress complex in Northern Tyrol. The fortress on the Schlosskopf, built starting in 1733, was considered impregnable in its day. Two inclined elevators make the two castle ruins accessible to all. Those who explore them on a hike will get a sense of just how exposed the fortresses once were. The “highline179” suspension bridge offers thrills and dizzying views down into the valley: 406 m long and 114 m high, it hovers over the valley and connects Ehrenberg with Fort Claudia (tickets available at the visitor center or from the vending machine by the bridge).

    If you have some energy left, or do not want to walk over a boring gravel road, go to the waterfall at Rinnen and walk on the left side of the river/lake, which is a real hiking trail.

    Schöne aussichtsreiche Tour, perfekt für den An- oder Abreisetag oder auch bei unsicherem Wetter geeignet. Der Rummel am Parkplatz und der Ehrenberger Klause (es war Samstag, Ferienzeit und Bombenwetter!) verliert sich hier im Streckenverlauf, am Schloßkopf und inbesondere am Fort Claudia dann nur wenige Menschen!

    Sehr nette Tour, auch mit kompletter Familie gut machbar. Man kann den Aufstieg zur Burg Ehrenberg variieren und einen steilen und etwas anspruchsvolleren Weg durch den Wald nehmen.

    Da der kurze Weg zur Burgruine gesperrt war, bin ich erst durch den "Zauberwald" zur Festung Schlosskopf gewandert. Eine herrliche Anlage mit fantastischen Blicken. Danach ging es steil runter zur Burgruine, die mich einigermaßen enttäuscht hat (auch wegen der Massen an Besuchern). Danach über die Highline 179, die noch mehr überfüllt war, zum Fort Claudia, welches recht unspektakulär ist. Vor allem auf dem Weg vom Schlosskopf runter zur Burg Trittsicherheit und einigermaßen stabile und rutschfeste Schuhe erforderlich!
