Krayenburg
The Krayenburg was a castle situated on the Krayenberg, having the townships of Tiefenort and Merkers-Kieselbach at its foot, and overlooking an extensive section of the Werratal. The history of the Krayenburg castle began on 31 August 786 when Charlemagne gave the village of Dorndorf, including all of its belongings, to Hersfeld Abbey. The abbey built the Krayenburg to protect its newly gained property.
Krayenberg
The Krayenberg is a 431-metre hill near Tiefenort, Germany. Since 500 BCE it was a rampart and served as a refuge for the central part of the Werratal. It became important for German history due to the Krayenburg, which was built on its top after 786, and destroyed starting with the Thirty Years' War. Today, the well-maintained ruins, a restaurant and a hotel define a tourist location in the Werratal.
