      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 DreifĆ¼rstenstein is particularly popular on weekends ...

The DreifĆ¼rstenstein on the Hornisgrinde consists of a large slab of sandstone, which is supported by several small ones Is surrounded by rock slabs. ... "

          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 DreifĆ¼rstenstein (formerly Dreimarkstein) is a colored sandstone slab located on the southeastern edge of the plateau. Since 1722 it marked the border between the Margraviate of Baden, the Duchy of WĆ¼rttemberg and the Prince-Bishopric of Strasbourg. Today the point represents the boundary between the Baden municipalities of Sasbach and Seebach and the WĆ¼rttemberg municipality of Baiersbronn. With a height of 1151 m above sea level. The DreifĆ¼rstenstein is the highest point in WĆ¼rttemberg. (Wikipedia)

                                  The DreifĆ¼rstenstein is divided into two magnificent red sandstone slabs. The boundaries between the Margraviate of Baden, the Duchy of WĆ¼rttemberg and the Prince-Bishopric of Strasbourg were established on the slightly larger stone slab in 1722. The stone also marks the highest point in WĆ¼rttemberg.
