Tripoint Monument (Germany–Austria–Czech Republic)

Highlight • Monument

The border triangle has a very special flair. With a few steps you can cross the respective border and "get a foothold" in Germany, the Czech Republic or Austria.

If you want to take a break and have a snack, you can do so on the huge stone table.

Hochstein Summit (Dreisesselberg)

Highlight • Summit

It is located in the Lower Bavarian district of Freyung-Grafenau around 370 m (as the crow flies) northwest of the German-Czech border.

The mighty rock with a large summit cross can be climbed via a stone staircase. The panorama ranges from the Plöckenstein over parts of the Bohemian Forest, the Almberg, the Haidel and the Lusen to the Rachel. On a clear day, you can see as far as the Alps.

Due to the public Dreisesselstraße, which leads to the Dreisesselhaus ("Berggasthof Dreisessel"), which is almost 450 m (as the crow flies) south of the Hochstein, the Dreisesselberg, especially the Hochstein, is often heavily frequented. But there are also marked hiking trails from all directions, for example from the Kreuzbachklause, from Haidmühle-Frauenberg or the Czech Nové Údolí to the Hochstein.
