From the Middle Rhine Via Ferrata in Boppard, there is an impressive view of the beautiful Rhine Valley.

Gentle rolling hills characterize the landscape in the middle Saale valley, here the view from Kienberg near Uhlstädt towards the southwest.

On the slope of the Rüdesheimer Berg stands the ruins of Ehrenfels Castle. It was built at the beginning of the 13th century. The large shield wall with its two corner towers (mountain side) and remains of a three-story palas (Rhine side) are still preserved. The ruined condition of the castle is due to war damage in the 17th century. Since 2002, the castle ruins have been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Upper Middle Rhine Valley". (16.07.2014)

Hello Ferdinand,
thank you for your praise! Yes, the extremely dynamic cloud cover repeatedly created interesting plays of light and shadow. It still took a little while until the castle ruins were fully illuminated by the sun.

Best regards, Kevin
