Very much enjoyed the castle which is well-preserved without having crowds touring. Nice views of the forest. Rooms and food okay for a short stay. You can expect to see some large spiders as you are in the middle of the forest. Very helpful staff despite limited English speakers amongst them.

We had an amazing couple of days here. The staff were both wonderful and very kind. The room was beautiful and simple, clean, and very comfortable; it had the charm of a 12th century castle but with the comfort of a contemporary hotel. The wine in our room was great, and the bed was surprisingly nice to sleep on. The only minor shortfall was that our room was very hot; opening the window helped a bit, but only so much. That said, there is so much reason to never be in it that it was kind of a meaningless shortfall. The provided breakfasts were great and did not leave us missing anything. We did not stay for dinner as we had already made reservations elsewhere, but I would bet that it would be great as well. The cost was absolutely worth it and probably the second cheapest place we stayed. The surrounding area is beautiful and there are many places to go and see within a short distance. The countryside was very pretty in every direction, but we were unfortunately too busy to get any hikes in. While staying, we had free roam of the castle, and it was a delight to explore. The view from the top of the tower is amazing. I would absolutely love to come back if able. I cannot recommend staying here any more strongly. It is definitely worth the little bit of driving it takes to get there. Definitely one of my favorite places to have stayed in the world.

Ehrenburg Castle is a true castle. You can see the age in the castle walls.

Ehrenburg.. legend has it, lovers who promise each other eternal love here, will stay together for rest of their lives.. castle itself got some fascinating stories.. and a beautiful view from the top.. there’s a beautiful arch with roses, wonder how fairy like it will be when it blooms fully.. ? Castle entrance is 4€ pp.. the ticket says it’s maintained by a non profit and the amount goes entirely to preserve the place.. There is a hotel inside for 130€ +.. on the courtyard you can see craftsman busy with demonstrating their work like old age.. fun for kids..

Very beautiful location for a wedding, the view and the decorations are great! Authentic show, very entertaining and high quality - Jürgen was the best: he plays every old instrument and knows how to tell a story. Really enjoyed the games, tour and his music. The service was nice and did their best. Unfortunately, the management was not very motivated and the planning was chaotic, almost unprofessional, very little communication before and during wedding. That was a shame.
