The Dreisessel in the Bavarian Forest border triangle is one of the most popular excursion and hiking destinations. Well-signposted paths lead to its peaks Dreisesselfels, Hochstein and Bayerischer Plöckenstein (Czech: Trojmezná hora), offering a wonderful view of the Bavarian Forest, the Bohemian Forest and the Mühlviertel.

A beautiful cross adorns the summit of the highest elevation in the Bohemian Forest. From the 1379 m high summit you have a wonderful view all the way to the Moldau reservoir.

It is located in the Lower Bavarian district of Freyung-Grafenau around 370 m (as the crow flies) northwest of the German-Czech border. The mighty rock with a large summit cross can be climbed via a stone staircase. The panorama ranges from the Plöckenstein over parts of the Bohemian Forest, the Almberg, the Haidel and the Lusen to the Rachel. On a clear day, you can see as far as the Alps. Due to the public Dreisesselstraße, which leads to the Dreisesselhaus ("Berggasthof Dreisessel"), which is almost 450 m (as the crow flies) south of the Hochstein, the Dreisesselberg, especially the Hochstein, is often heavily frequented. But there are also marked hiking trails from all directions, for example from the Kreuzbachklause, from Haidmühle-Frauenberg or the Czech Nové Údolí to the Hochstein.

For me, the summit wasn't really worthwhile, but the further way was all the more so
