Description

From the Ehrenberger Klause, take the well-surfaced path through the forest and the Schlossanger to the west portal of the highline179. If you have a head for heights, you can now cross the bridge. After leaving the bridge through the east portal, continue for about 100 metres to the photo point. From here, you have a perfect view of the spectacular pedestrian suspension bridge and Ehrenberg Castle on the opposite side of the valley. Return along the same route.

Tip: You can also take the Ehrenberg Liner inclined lift to shorten the way there and back.
