Drei-Freistaaten-Stein, Tripoint monument in Bavaria, Germany.

The Drei-Freistaaten-Stein marks the exact meeting point of Bavaria, Saxony, and Thuringia borders through a stone marker set on a triangular platform.

The original stone was installed following border conventions between the Kingdom of Saxony and Kingdom of Bavaria in 1840, marking territories of three monarchies.

Each section of the stone's base contains representative stones from the regions: Fichtelgebirge granite, Thuringian limestone, and Theuma slate.

The stone marker stands accessible on a hiking trail near Kupferbach stream, allowing visitors to explore the borders of three German federal states.

The letters KB, KS, and FR carved into the stone represent former monarchies, contrasting with its current name referring to free states.

Part of: political border
