Stärkelsbach spring & information board springs on Dreienberg

The course of the Stärkelsbach begins in a short valley meadow, surrounded by wooded slopes everywhere except in the east-northeast, on the eastern edge of the Dreienberg, which is up to 525 m above sea level and is the northernmost elevation of the Rhön low mountain range, around 200 meters north of the Dreienburg castle ruins, which stood on a shell limestone spur almost 100 meters higher and projecting to the east. After about 0.7 kilometers of northeasterly flow through meadows, the stream crosses the Friedewald district of Lautenhausen, now heading east. After another 0.8 kilometers through meadows, the Stärkelsbach is diverted to the east-southeast by the red sandstone slope of the Seulingswald, which extends there to the northeast; There, federal highway 62, coming from the northwest across the fields and meadows of Friedewald, joins the Stärkelsbach, whose course it initially follows on the left side on the southern edge of the Seulingswald, while meadows continue to line the banks of the stream opposite. After another 700 meters or so, the stream reaches the Philippsthal district of Unterneurode, where the Hillartshäuser water coming from Friedewald-Hillartshausen flows into it from the southwest and the federal highway changes to its right side. After initially following the foothills of the Seulingswald, which are partly unforested on the lower slope, for just over a kilometer and then for just under a kilometer southeast, the Stärkelsbach, now lined with woodland, reaches the village of Heimboldshausen, which it crosses from west to east. Barely a quarter of a kilometer after the Gerstungen–Vacha railway line, which runs parallel to the river west of it, has crossed it in the area of the former train station, the Stärkelsbach flows into the Werra from the left.

An old ruin where, unfortunately, not much remains. Otherwise, a nice farewell.
