Bohemia–Moravia–Lower Austria tripoint

Bohemia–Moravia–Lower Austria tripoint, Tripoint of Bohemia, Moravia and Lower Austria near Maříž, Czech Republic

The Bohemia–Moravia–Lower Austria tripoint lies on the Czech-Austrian state border about two kilometres west of Maříž, near the 700 m hill Čihadlo. The site marks where the historical lands of Bohemia, Moravia and Lower Austria meet, and it is crossed by cycle route no. 1003 and a winter cross-country skiing trail.

The tripoint's position results from medieval border changes. In 1179 Frederick Barbarossa's charter favoured the Austrian side, and after 1222 Přemysl Otakar I built Landštejn Castle to secure southwest Moravia. The 1252 marriage of Přemysl Otakar II to Margaret of Babenberg attached Landštejnsko to Bohemia, shifting the tripoint south to near Čihadlo (700 m), where it has stayed since.

The tripoint lies about two kilometres west of Maříž, a small border village now part of Slavonice, near the 700 m hill Čihadlo. The historical Bohemian-Moravian boundary ends or begins here, depending on the direction taken, and cycle route no. 1003 plus a winter cross-country ski trail pass the spot.

The tripoint is reachable via the Via Czechia - Bohemian-Moravian Trail, which connects multiple hiking routes through the surrounding natural areas. The site is best accessed on foot or by car, as the area is rural and public transport options may be limited.

The tripoint sits near the 700 m summit of Čihadlo, about two kilometres west of Maříž. Until the mid-13th century the triple boundary lay further north at Vysoký kámen near Kunžak; it shifted south only after Landštejn and Nové Bystřice passed to Bohemia around 1252.
