Description

The hike starts at the highline179 photo point and is a great optional route for combining a visit to the highline179 suspension bridge with another attraction at Burgenwelt Ehrenberg Castle World. Follow the signposted trail uphill to the historic Fort Claudia fortification. Return to the highline179 via the same route, or alternatively, descend directly from Fort Claudia to the car park.
