Djebel Ressas, Mountain summit near Tunis, Tunisia.
Djebel Ressas rises to 795 meters above sea level, featuring limestone formations that stand prominently against the Tunisian landscape southeast of Tunis.
During World War II, German artillery forces maintained defensive positions on the mountain summit until their withdrawal in May 1943.
The mountain's name translates to 'mountain of lead' in Arabic, reflecting the extensive mining operations conducted from Roman times through the 19th century.
The challenging 5-kilometer hiking trail to the summit requires 3 to 4 hours to complete and demands prior permission from the Guard National.
The mountain's limestone structure contains preserved evidence of ancient marine life from over 100 million years ago when the region was a tropical environment.
