Plesse Tower, Wooden observation tower in Wanfried, Germany.
The 22-meter Plesse Tower stands tall on Plesse Mountain, offering views across the Werra Valley and the surrounding North Hesse landscapes.
The construction of Plesse Tower in 1964 required 34 cubic meters of larch logs, with four specific 40-meter trees selected for the corner supports.
The Plesse Tower functions as a central point within the natural reserve Naturschutzgebiet Plesse-Konstein, representing local architectural practices.
The tower currently remains closed for safety considerations, with future renovation plans under development to restore public access.
The forestry department of Wanfried specifically chose identical larch trees to create the perfectly matched 21.5-meter corner stands of the structure.
