Dillenburg is the cradle of the Dutch royal family.
William I of Orange was born here in 1533. The William Tower, the landmark of our town of Orange, was built in his honour. Here you can experience more than 660 years of history and tradition. Let yourself be enchanted by our picturesque half-timbered town with its sights and a multitude of activities. Discover our castle hill complex with the largest underground defence system (casemates) in Germany or let yourself be guided through the winding alleyways of our old town.
Sports enthusiasts can explore our varied nature with three premium hiking trails (Rothaarsteig, WesterwaldSteig and Lahn-Dill-Berglandpfad), certified circular hiking trails and numerous cycle paths. The Hessian State Stud Farm in the baroque Wilhelmstraße, the wildlife park in Donsbach, the Kneipp facility and the small water-treading mill with healing spring in Eibach, the Ypsilanta visitor gallery in Oberscheld and the spacious 18-hole golf course will also inspire you.
