Dreimarkstein, Mountain summit in Vienna Woods, Austria
The Dreimarkstein is a summit in the Vienna Woods that rises to about 450 meters and sits where three administrative areas meet. Hiking trails connect through the area, and the elevated position offers views across the surrounding landscape and toward the distant city.
The name comes from early German language roots referring to boundary markers that stood at the crossing of administrative borders. Written records from the early 1800s documented the site as a significant boundary point in the region.
The peak serves as a meeting point for hikers from the surrounding area who value its proximity to Vienna while staying immersed in the forest landscape. People come here to enjoy simple outdoor life without needing to travel far from the city.
The area is easily accessible from Vienna and offers multiple starting points for walks of varying difficulty. A restaurant sits near the summit for refreshments, and most routes are straightforward to follow on foot without special equipment.
This spot marks where Vienna and Lower Austria meet, so walkers can literally stand at the intersection of two regions. The actual boundary location makes it a special place for exploration and photographs.
