Ehrenburg Castle, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

Second stay was as excellent as the first
This was our second stay and we loved it again. The entire ambiance of walking around the castle grounds at our leisure was magical. The room was clean and spacious and the silence at night was amazing . We ate dinner that evening and the 3 course meal was excellent! Plenty of good wine and beer was available and enjoyed. It was a little chilly after sunset but the staff built a fire in a pit in the courtyard and it made one dream of days of old. Breakfast was excellent as well with a large selection meat, cheese, breads, and yogurts. We will be back for thirds for sure!!

Ehrenburg Castle, a must-see.
After a short morning hike up from our caravan park, (Campingplatz 'Vogelsang') at the base of the hill, we were warmly greeted at the main gate by the host. Our kids, 4.5 and almost 7yrs, had a wonderful time exploring the castle which we had almost entirely to ourselves for the duration of our visit; It was a wonderful change from other more popular castles which are crammed shoulder to shoulder with sightseers. We returned two days later for an evening meal which proved to be a wonderful experience. There is no menu, everyone dining receives the same, three course meal. The children were catered for perfectly and I being a vegetarian, was also not disappointed. The food was simple yet hearty and packed with flavour, the pre-dessert schnapps went down a treat and dessert saw us full to the brim. We had two waiters, one being the host from our previous visit, they were both very warm, welcoming and attentive. There is ongoing renovations and restoration work going on, I would love to return one day to see it completed.

Amazing castle and great fun
This medieval castle towers over a deep valley with stunning views from the twin towers, after a healthy climb. Technically it's a ruin, but there is enough of it left to convey the feeling of an actual castle. The Sunday special entertainment certainly makes for a brilliant day out. There's a jester, there are knights fighting over a lady, there are artisans demonstrating their skills. It is geared at kids, but the adults will be entertained too, if only by the delicious food and drink and excellent atmosphere.
