About 100 years ago there was a mill here, which was called "Stiftermühle". The necessary water for the water wheels, the saw and the mill was supplied by the Kreuzbach, which flows past here.

Like other streams in the Bavarian Forest, the Kreuzbach was dammed here to a hermitage. It is a small pond or lake where the beaten trees were collected. Were enough together, so the clergyman opened the Klausenwehr and the tribes shot down the creek into the valley.

Dreisessel Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Dreisessel (1,312 meters) is certainly one of the most striking mountains in the Bavarian Forest.

Impressive along the way is especially the "Stone Sea", a huge cluster of large granite rocks. This place is one of the most beautiful geotopes in Bavaria. Already from the Steinerne Meer offers a great view of the Bavarian Forest over the Passauer Land.

Shortly after the Steinernen Meer you reach with the border triangle another special feature of the tour. Here at the landmark, Germany, the Czech Republic and Austria meet.

Always along the border ridge you walk, past the Bavarian Plöckenstein, to the Dreisesselfelsen, which unreal acting auftürmt in the midst of the landscape. From there you can enjoy incomparable views.

To the celebrity helped the Dreisessel probably also the well-known Bayerwald poet Adalbert Stifer, who refers in some of his stories to this rock formation.

According to a legend, the name "Dreisessel" comes from the way: On this rock, the kings of Bavaria, Bohemia and Austria once met to define the borders of the respective kingdoms. When the kings then took a seat on the rock, the three-legged chair was formed.

June 21, 2025,Von Frauenberg zum Hochstein/Dreisessel - Kreuzbachklause

We started at the paid hiking parking lot in Frauenberg. You pay with small change or via app; unfortunately, there's not even a restroom for that money 🤨 We followed well-marked paths through a beautiful mixed forest up to the Dreisessel. The ascent wasn't particularly challenging, but the descent required good shoes and surefootedness.
