With its 1333 meters, the Dreisessel is the eighth highest mountain in the Bavarian Forest. In addition to the Lusen is also this mountain surrounded by legends. Once the kings of Bavaria, Bohemia and Austria gathered here on the top of the mountain to set the borders of their lands. Even today, the Dreisesselberg is considered a landmark for the border triangle Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. Compared to the other mountains of the Bavarian Forest, you can get very close to the summit by car . From the car park, a paved hiking trail leads to the summit, where a mountain restaurant calls for a stop. Thus, the Dreisessel is very much used as a destination for families with prams and older people. The 8 m high stone columns offer a magnificent view of the southeastern Bavarian Forest.
