The Kreuzstein is a mighty granite stone and marks the border between Bavaria and Bohemia. A carved cross is clearly visible on the south side, while the inscriptions "Bohemia" on the east side and "Bavaria" on the west side can only be seen in good light.

The cross stone has probably been marking the boundary for around 1,000 years.
