    Coming from Deuna, a station path leads to Dünkreuz. Once there, you have an overview of the entire Eichsfeld basin. In the warmer seasons, the place is ideal for holding outdoor services.

      Deuna is a district of the municipality of Niederorschel in the Eichsfeld district of Thuringia.

      Deuna was first mentioned in a document in 1162, when the Archbishop of Mainz, Konrad I von Wittelsbach, donated several properties in Deuna to the Gerode monastery.

      The place belonged to the von Hagen family, who lived in neighboring Rüdigershagen, as a Mainz fief.
      After their residence was destroyed in 1315, they moved to the Deuna moated castle.
      In 1515, Martin Luther also lived in the castle.
      It was stormed by farmers in 1525 and burned down.
      The Imperial Barons von Hagen rebuilt it in 1540.
      Deuna remained the property of the Counts von Hagen until 1896.
      A side branch then owned it until it was expropriated after 1945.
      There is now a retirement home on the property.

        The Dünkreuz near Deuna is a stone cross near Deuna in the Eichsfeld district in northern Thuringia.
        The cross is located southwest of Deuna at the foot of the Dün.
        Due to its size and location on the Dün ridge, the cross can be seen from all communities in the Eichsfelder-Kessel administrative community.
        In the immediate vicinity there is an Eichsfelder natural monument, an approximately 400-year-old linden tree with a circumference of 6 m.
        There is also a spring there, the Walsborn.
