The place that will be discussed below is located far enough from bad Reichenhall, and, for sure, you need to think hard to get here from Upper Bavaria, but if You are staying somewhere in the Tyrol, or a very enthusiastic person, then this attraction is just for You. Moreover, the combination of attractions is very unusual. Meet - Erenberg castle and the Highline 179 suspension bridge
The castle was built around 1290. Gradually it grew in size, already in the 16th century the garrison of the castle was about 1000 people. At one time, the son of Peter I, Tsarevich Alexey, took refuge in this castle. The castle was destroyed in the 19th century by the troops of Napoleon and was not restored after that. In fact, the complex of attractions includes not only this castle, but also the protective Fort Claudia, located on the opposite mountain. Between these mountains is the longest pedestrian bridge in Europe (entrance to it is paid).
Well? The photos have not yet convinced you that this place is a must-see. In my opinion very exciting views! Well, in addition to views of the fortress and castles below, the hotel has a playground with entertainment, there is a permanent exhibition dedicated to the fortresses, so the walk will be interesting and informative. Let's go?
