Ossa, Mountain summit in Thessaly, Greece
Mount Ossa extends 1,978 meters above sea level, forming a pyramidal peak that rises from a broad plateau near the Gulf of Thermai.
Ancient Greek texts mention Mount Ossa as part of the tale where giants attempted to reach Mount Olympus by stacking mountains on top of each other.
The mountain carries two names in modern Greece: Ossa and Kissavos, with the latter name connecting to Serbian language references about rainfall patterns.
Hiking trails throughout Mount Ossa provide access points from multiple villages, with the Vale of Tempe serving as a natural division from Mount Olympus.
The mountain maintains an ultra-prominent status in Europe with a prominence of 1,854 meters, marking its distinct separation from surrounding peaks.
