It's a paradise for nature enthusiasts. The path to Trojstátí is lined with majestic trees and offers beautiful views of the landscape.

References to the Past:

During your walk to Trojstátí, you will come across remnants of mill canals, mills, and hideouts of the border guards from the totalitarian era. A millstone is embedded in a local wall, serving as a reminder of the miller's guild. A peace cross and an iron ore mine tunnel are additional historical remnants to discover during your journey.

Trojstátí:

The actual point of Trojstátí is not marked, as it lies in a streambed between historical boundary stones. However, the boundary stones from 1844, marked with DB (Deutschland Bayern), DS (Deutschland Sachsen), and C (Czech Republic), clearly indicate where these three states converge. This place is an important symbol of unity and historical division.

Getting There:

Trojstátí is accessible via cycling route No. 2058, the red hiking trail, or an educational path. The route takes you through untouched landscapes and offers unique insights into the historical and natural treasures of this region.
