    Actually not a highlight. Not a good vantage point, nor anything special to see. But a nice and quiet hiking area.

        A historic border runs here.
        Three-legged chairs were once called waypoints/borders where not two, but three lordships met.
        The oldest stone setting on this border dates from 1579. The border treaty was concluded a year earlier, on April 19, 1578, between the Landgraves of Wittgenstein and Hesse and the court squires of the von Breidenbach family (Hessian State Archives, Marburg). In addition to a description, it also contained the boundary stone spacing in increments. The 178 stones from this period are consecutively numbered and bear the initials W and BG, as well as the year 1579.
        In 1723, there was another border treaty, and they were set in stone in 1729. These stones can be identified by the engraved year and the initials W and HD for Hesse-Darmstadt. The sandstones come from the Goßfelden quarry.


        Today, the three districts of Marburg-Biedenkopf, Waldeck-Frankenberg and Siegen-Wittgenstein meet here.
