Borne des Trois Puissances, Border monument near Pfetterhouse, France.
The Three Powers Boundary Stone marks the exact intersection point between France, Germany, and Switzerland at coordinates 47.50294, 7.13021.
Installed in 1871 following the Franco-Prussian War, this stone marker defined new borders when Alsace-Lorraine territory transferred from France to Germany.
Three stone markers at different heights stand together, with the tallest representing the meeting point and another showing F for France and D for Deutschland.
The monument sits in Le Bois Défendu forest at 504 meters elevation, accessible through marked hiking trails from Pfetterhouse, Réchésy, and Beurnevésin.
A small shelter built by the Swiss army provides visitors with a resting area while exploring this triple border point.
