Dreisessel Rock
Highlight • Natural Monument
Impressive along the way is especially the "Stone Sea", a huge cluster of large granite rocks. This place is one of the most beautiful geotopes in Bavaria. Already from the Steinerne Meer offers a great view of the Bavarian Forest over the Passauer Land.
Shortly after the Steinernen Meer you reach with the border triangle another special feature of the tour. Here at the landmark, Germany, the Czech Republic and Austria meet.
Always along the border ridge you walk, past the Bavarian Plöckenstein, to the Dreisesselfelsen, which unreal acting auftürmt in the midst of the landscape. From there you can enjoy incomparable views.
To the celebrity helped the Dreisessel probably also the well-known Bayerwald poet Adalbert Stifer, who refers in some of his stories to this rock formation.
According to a legend, the name "Dreisessel" comes from the way: On this rock, the kings of Bavaria, Bohemia and Austria once met to define the borders of the respective kingdoms. When the kings then took a seat on the rock, the three-legged chair was formed.

Hochstein Summit (Dreisesselberg)
Highlight • Summit
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.
