From Assmannshausen we hike to Ehrenfels Castle. The interior of the castle courtyard is not accessible, so we took a look at it from the air :-) . Ehrenfels Castle is the ruin of a hilltop castle west of Rüdesheim am Rhein, halfway to Assmannshausen in the Rheingau-Taunus district in Hesse. It stands on the northeastern bank of the Rhine on the steep slope of the Rüdesheimer Berg, which includes several of Germany´s best vineyards. The castle courtyard is closed off with bars, so that an inside tour is not possible. But you can fly over it «, »-) The 4.6 meter thick, 20 meter high shield wall with its two 33 meter high corner towers and the remains of the Palas and a gate building have been preserved from the former customs castle, which was almost 600 square meters in size. Ehrenfels Castle has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley since 2002. On the north (mountain) side is the shield wall with its two round corner towers to the west and east. This wall, a remains of a building in the west, the three-story palas on the south side (Rhine side) and the ring wall in the east delimit an inner courtyard with a cistern. Access was once from the east through the outer bailey with a gate. Only the foundations of these buildings in the outer bailey are visible. Below the Palas was the Zwinger.
