Hoher Meißner

The Hoher Meißner is a mountain massif with a height of 753.6 m and is located in the Meißner-Kaufunger Wald nature park in Hesse, Germany.

It is located approximately between Eschwege and Grossalmerode as well as Bad Sooden-Allendorf and Waldkappel.

From different locations on the Meißner one can enjoy wonderful views: The lignite mining industry began around 1560, after gloss coal bits were discovered in a brook, and persisted until 1929.

The coal was used, for example, as fuel for salt production in Bad Sooden Allendorf and at the large power station in Kassel.

The Hoher Meissner transmitter is a facility for medium-wave, FM- and TV-broadcasting.
