Dreienberg

Dreienberg is a forested summit in the Hersfeld-Rotenburg region reaching 525 meters in elevation. The slopes transition between thick woodlands and open meadows that break up the tree cover.

The southeastern side holds ruins of a medieval castle called Dreyenburg, known locally as Alter Keller. These remains date from when fortified structures controlled the surrounding territory.

Hikers traditionally stack small stones along the paths to mark routes through the slopes. These simple markers have become part of how people experience and navigate the mountain landscape.

Multiple hiking trails cross the mountain, with the main loop covering roughly 8 kilometers and requiring moderate fitness. Wear sturdy footwear since routes alternate between wooded sections and steeper slopes exposed to weather.

A natural spring called Stärkelsbach emerges in a valley meadow surrounded by dense forest on the slopes. Few visitors find this hidden water source tucked away in the quieter parts of the mountain.
