Großer Osser, Mountain summit on border between Bavaria and Bohemia.
The Großer Osser rises to 1293 meters, featuring steep rocky slopes and distinctive pointed shape within the Bavarian-Bohemian mountain range.
During the 12th century, the mountain housed the Osserburg castle, which served as a defensive structure but no longer exists today.
Local inhabitants refer to the Großer Osser and its neighboring peak as the mother of god's breasts, reflecting regional folklore traditions.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit from Lohberg, Silbersbach, and Lam, requiring solid physical condition due to steep rocky terrain.
The mountain contains garnets within its quartz-rich mica slates, making it a recognized geological formation in Bavaria's natural heritage catalog.
