      Striking stone slab and beautiful view.
      In the summer it is nice and shady, so it is easy to rest here.

      With the Hornisgrinde and the idyllic circular route including the bus tourist car park connection, the Dreifürstenstein is particularly popular on weekends ...

          Very interesting story that is explained by the display board. It's fun to look at the coloring and look for the oldest one.

                                  The Dreifürstenstein is divided into two magnificent red sandstone slabs. The boundaries between the Margraviate of Baden, the Duchy of Württemberg and the Prince-Bishopric of Strasbourg were established on the slightly larger stone slab in 1722. The stone also marks the highest point in Württemberg.

                                            Probably the most well-heeled border stone I have seen so far. Here you are rarely alone on the weekend.
