There is a small chapel behind the Dünkreuz. Unfortunately, it was locked inside. But you could still catch a glimpse of the altar.

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.

A worthwhile hiking destination, there is nothing left of the castle, but you can easily imagine how it stood here. A good resting place, the overhanging trees, the view and the ditch or cut into the shell limestone are interesting.

The Walsborn is a spring that has a small legend surrounding it. According to legend, a chasuble was buried here, only one thread of which rots each year. Only when the entire garment has gone the way of everything earthly will the villages of Niederorschel, Deuna and Rüdigershagen perish.

Water from two pipes below the small "cascades", which probably serve as an overflow. The source socket above is secured with a grid.

The most beautiful cross from the Eichsfelder Kessel, which can be seen from afar!

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. (Source: Wikipedia)
