Possen

Possen is a mountain summit in the Hainleite range of northern Thuringia that rises prominently from the surrounding countryside. The forested slopes lead to an open peak where visitors can walk freely across the hilltop.

The mountain served as a geographical landmark in the Hainleite region for centuries and was documented in early regional surveys. Its prominence made it a useful reference point for travelers and local navigation throughout the ages.

Local residents gather at Possen throughout the year for seasonal festivals and outdoor events that connect the community with nature.

Several marked hiking trails provide access to the summit from different starting points in the surrounding area. Parking areas near the trailheads make it straightforward for visitors to begin their walk up the mountain.

The mountain summit provides an observation point where visitors can view both the Thuringian Forest and the Harz Mountains in clear weather.
