Ehrenberg ruins
Remains of medieval fortress.We spotted ruins of Ehrenberg Schloβ when we were driving towards Innsbruck. We finally decided to visit there. At present
Ehrenberg Schloβ saved as ruins. In past that was pretty important power centre and it was known as
Ehrenberger Klause. That castle had build in narrow pass that divided local area and separated Lech valley from district Zwischentoren.
First castle had been built at 13th century. Afterwards is was enlarged and developed and it allowed for local ruler based there and lawmade. Local authorities moved eventually to nearby Reutte in 16th century. From that time Ehrenberg served as fortress and roughly 1k soldiers based inside its walls. Soldiers based there until the fortress was seriously damager during French invasion of the Tyrol at the beginning of 19th century. Well known fact is: Napoleon conquered Austria.
We go into the ruins to admire the landscape. Ehrenberg consists from two parts - we got to lower one, but previously we noticed another part of ruins much higher. Robert desired to walk higher to second part of castle and he left us for several minutes in the middle of ruins. When he came back we decided we could go and drive to Linderhof in

Remains of medieval fortress. Germany. I only regret Robert forget the camera when he undertook his short escapade. I have taken pictures these you could find below.
Important.
That castle Ehrenberg Schloβ is unknown in general. Even google maps couldn't find it but I've managed. The ruins are located nearby Reutte and in google maps please have look to the south from Reutte. Range - about 2 kilometers away.
