Dreiflussstein, Memorial stone in Teutoburg Forest, Detmold, Germany.
The Dreiflussstein is a memorial stone in the Teutoburg Forest that marks where the drainage basins of the Rhine, Weser, and Ems rivers converge. At this location, the boundaries of these three major water systems meet in a single spot.
Made from Osning sandstone, the stone was erected in 2009 to mark this geographically significant watershed location. It stands near the Hermann Monument and documents this important boundary point.
Local residents gather at this geographical marker throughout the year to appreciate the natural boundaries of water systems in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The site is reachable via several hiking paths but requires walking from the nearest parking areas. The forest trail is accessible year-round, though it can become muddy after rain.
The stone indicates the exact point where three major watershed divisions intersect: Rhine-Weser, Weser-Ems, and Rhine-Ems.
