Pleß, Mountain peak in Breitungen, Germany
The Pleß summit rises to 645.4 meters above sea level, offering views of the Thuringian Forest, Grosser Beerberg, and Wartburg Castle from its observation tower.
The first wooden observation tower was constructed in 1921, followed by a stone tower in 1936, which underwent reconstruction in 1999 to reach 22 meters in height.
Local traditions include tales of witch processions at the summit, enriching the mountain's folklore through generations of storytelling among regional inhabitants.
The Rhönklub hut opens during weekends, while visitors can obtain keys from the tourist office to access the observation tower during weekdays.
A hunter's stone marks the location where Johannes Sachs met his end in 1722, with detailed inscriptions preserving the account of his hunting accident.
