Krayenberg, Mountain summit in Bad Salzungen, Germany
The Krayenberg rises 428.3 meters above sea level, forming a conical peak in the Werratal region of Thuringia, 8 kilometers west of Bad Salzungen.
The mountain gained strategic importance in 786 when Charlemagne gifted properties in Dorndorf to Hersfeld Abbey, necessitating fortifications for protection of the territory.
The Krayenburg castle atop Krayenberg provided asylum to Margaretha von Staufen, daughter of Emperor Frederick II, when she fled from Wartburg in 1270.
A marked hiking trail leads visitors to the summit of Krayenberg, where they find a restaurant and hotel established in the renovated castle ruins.
The mountain ranks as the 33rd highest among 3,816 summits in Thuringia, with a prominence of 152 meters relative to surrounding terrain.
