Platte, Mountain summit in Steinwald Forest, Germany.

The Platte summit reaches an elevation of 946 meters above sea level, standing as the highest point within the Steinwald section of the Fichtel mountains.

The Upper Palatinate Tower at the summit underwent reconstruction in 2000, replacing the original 1972 structure that was dismantled in 1998.

The summit serves as a meeting point for local hiking groups who gather regularly to explore the numerous trails through the Steinwald forest region.

Visitors can reach the summit through multiple marked trails, with the main path starting at Marktredwitzer Haus and passing by the Weißenstein Ruins.

The 35-meter observation tower features a viewing platform at 30 meters, accessible by climbing 150 steps, offering views across the Bavarian landscape.
