Why visit
Visit for a visually memorable stop that mixes engineering, heights and castle history; travellers uncomfortable with exposure can focus on the fortress areas instead.
What you will see
- Decide whether the exposed bridge suits everyone in the group.
- Explore the lower castle-world interpretation.
- Wear secure footwear for steep fortress paths.
History
Ehrenberg’s fortifications developed to control the important route through the Alps; the modern suspension bridge was added in the twenty-first century as a new connection and visitor attraction.
