State Border at Dreiländereck (Germany–Czech Republic–Austria)

Highlight • Monument

The path, which is in places heavily blocked, leads directly along the German-Czech and Austrian-Czech borders. The Bavarian Forest-Bohemian Forest border also runs here in the border triangle.

ridgeway

Highlight • Trail

The dead trees are impressive and the hike is not very demanding. When it is wet or at low temperatures, you should be very careful not to fall, as the path then becomes a stream.

Still here, a few bare trees tower into the sky, which were attacked by the bark beetle. But meanwhile, nature is reclaiming its habitat, and bushes, herbs and above all small spruce and fir trees grow between the skeletonized trunks.

May 12, 2022,Goldsteig Etappe N21: Lackenhäuser-Dreisessel (und retour über Dreiländermark)

It continues on the Goldsteig. I set up my "base camp" in the Breitenberger Hof in (as the name suggests) Breitenberg. The inn was taken over just a few weeks ago by young people with a lot of enthusiasm and ideas. I keep my fingers crossed that the two can implement their ideas and get the shop up and running.

Today it worked out after all and I was able to make up for the hike I had "canceled" on Monday. No rain, sometimes cloudy, but good visibility and really wonderful hiking weather. Even if the paths are really blocked, the walk to Plöckenstein and of course to the highlight par excellence, the border triangle, is worth it. A beautifully …

February 10, 2025,Winterwanderung im Bayrischen Wald: Hochstein - Dreisessel - Steinernes Meer- Dreiländereck- Bayerischer Plöckenstein 🇩🇪❄️🇦🇹❄️🇨🇿

Beautiful, challenging Hochwald winter hike. We started at the Dreisessel paid car park and followed the Adalbert-Stifter-Steig over the Steinernes Meer to the border triangle of Germany, the Czech Republic and Austria. This section was quite challenging, partly slippery with an alpine character. The way back over the Hochkamm/Grenzsteig and the 1364m high Bavarian Plöckenstein went without any problems. From …

Doing the tour the other way around is probably better: first Steinernes Meer and back over the high ridge.

Great, varied tour for families with children who love hiking.

Today over the Alfons-Hellauer-Rundweg to the Steinernes Meer and further to the triangle and over the Bavarian Plöckenstein to the Dreisessel .... Stein, Haus und Berg. Super nice path over roots and stones - demanding but little altitude.

As the first time is always the best, we probably picked the perfect day for our Dreisessel tour today 🌞🍁⛰️
Pure sunshine, little wind, fantastic views of the upper Mühlviertel, the Dachstein and the Totes Gebirge on the horizon made the tour a real highlight for us! ❤️
The starting point was the Dreisessel car park and our first destination …
