Circular hike to Krayenburg

The hike begins in the town center at the village lime tree directly at Dietlas Castle. The trail leads out of the town center toward the federal road. The trail marking, a green dot on a white background, guides us to the district of Dorndorf. Upon reaching the road, turn left and continue to Berger Weg. This street goes to the edge of the forest. In the forest, you come to a crossroads where you turn left. This path leads directly to Dorndorf. In the village, turn into Dorfblick Street, then proceed to Hardtstraße, continue to Werksstraße up to Arnsberg. It is helpful to follow the trail marking of a white triangle on a green background. This marking accompanies us to Kieselbach and on the way back again to Dorndorf via the Werra meadows. From Arnsberg, walk about 800 meters on the Werra cycle path until you reach a forest path again. In the district of Merkers, take Dietlaser Weg to the federal road. Cross this road and leave the town by crossing the Werra river. After the bridge, turn right into a small garden colony. From here, it goes steeply uphill to the castle. The castle has a restaurant with a small hotel operation. The restaurant is usually open on weekends; during the week, prior arrangement is necessary. When the restaurant is open, it is sometimes possible to climb the tower to enjoy a beautiful view. Just climb 74 steps and enjoy the lovely view. After visiting the castle, it goes downhill to Kieselbach. Via Lindenstraße and Friedrich–Engels-Straße, you reach the Werra meadows. The hike continues over the Werra meadows parallel to the Werra river to Dorndorf. In the town center, you meet the trail marking green dot on a white background again. This path leads along the Felda river back to Dietlas.
