    Hiking

    The Plesseturm is a 22 m high observation tower built in 1963/64 on the Plesse mountain in the Wanfried Werra Heights. For the wooden structure, 34 cubic meters of larch logs were cut by the Wanfried district forestry department. The forestry officer Dieter Schnell chose four identical, 40 m high larch trees from which the 21.5 m high corner stands were made.
    From here you have a wonderful view over Wanfried, the Werra Valley and the surrounding area with Heldrastein, Meißner...
    Access to the tower is currently closed for security reasons. A renewal project is on the agenda.
