What is "wollmisse"

The Wöllmisse is a high plateau which rises east of the Saale Valley in the State of Thuringia, Germany. The densely wooded Wöllmisse borders the Roda Valley in the South, the Saale Valley to the West, the Gembdenbachtal in the North, and the town of Bürgel and the Gleistal Valley in the East. In Bürgel, it is connected via a saddle with the formation of Jenzig- Hufeisen- Alte Gleisberg.

Municipalities and districts that are within the Wöllmisse are (beginning in the North): Großlöbichau in the District of Kleinlöbichau; the Bürgel villages of Rodigast and Lucka; Schöngleina with Zinna; Schlöben with the towns of Mennewitz, Zöttnitz, Rabis, Fraitsch and Burgrabis; the Jena districts of Ilmnitz, Drackendorf, Lobeda, Wöllnitz, Ziegenhain, Camsdorf, Wenigen-Jena, Jenaprießnitz and Wogau. Also, the villages of Trockhausen, Gröben, and Podelsatz are considered a part of the Wöllmisse, all at the southern foot of the ridge.
