Plešivec, Mountain summit in Karlovy Vary Region, Czech Republic

Pleßberg, called Plešivec in Czech, is a 1029-metre nefelinite hill in the Ore Mountains, 2 km southeast of Abertamy, with steep slopes covered by boulder fields and a spruce monoculture. It is a denudation remnant of a lava sheet. On the summit stand the hotel Plešivec, a restaurant and a 16-metre stone lookout tower opened in 1895.

In 1889 the Abertham priest Johann Endt founded the Verein der Naturfreunde in Abertham, which bought the summit land for 340 Gulden that April. Construction of the 15-metre tower began in 1893 at a cost of 5400 Gulden, funded by donations, members' fees and loans, and it was consecrated on 4 August 1895. The summit road was built in summer 1895 and the tower joined the Kammweg in 1903.

The German name Pleßberg derives from the Middle High German "bloß", meaning bare, referring to an unwooded summit; the Czech name Plešivec was taken from it. Since 2013 three chairlifts serve the slopes, and since 2020 mountain-bike trails have run on the mountainside, both served by several lifts.

A road from Abertamy reaches the summit and is followed by cycle route 2002. Hikers can take the green-marked path from Abertamy (3 km), the blue-marked path from Pstruží (3 km with 350 m of ascent) or the nature trail from Merklín (6 km).

The 16-metre stone lookout tower on the summit opened on 4 August 1895, built by the Abertham nature friends' association founded in 1889 on the initiative of pastor Johann Endt. The association bought the plot for 340 gulden and financed the tower through donations, memberships and loans.
