particularities
The completely wooded mountain (Plesseforst) is the northwesternmost branch of the Göttingen Forest. The mountain is connected to the Ibenberg ( 387.6 m ) on the Muschelkalk plateau via a narrow saddle . Some hiking trails lead across the mountain area to the former ramparts of the Wittenburg , a neighboring vantage point on the Leine valley and the Goethelinde . The ruins of Castle Plesse are located on a south-western mountain spur with a keep over 20 meters high and another tower. The northeastern mountain spur of the Wittenburg is also known as the "Krummer Altar". The rampart fortification of the Wittenburg lies on this mountain spur , which, according to ceramic finds , was dated to the late Hallstatt or early La Tène period.
