Description

The hike begins with a ride up the mountain on the Ehrenberg Liner. From the Top station, the trail leads to the highline179 suspension bridge. Crossing the bridge, which has a distance of over 400 meters, is recommended for those who aren’t afraid of heights. After crossing, you’ll reach the lookout point with an impressive view of the Ehrenberg Castle Ruins and the suspension bridge itself. A unique experience for young and old alike! The return trip follows the same route, and the descent on the Ehrenberg Liner rounds out the hike.
