Jochenstein, Inland island in Untergriesbach, Germany.
The Jochenstein island extends 42 meters in length and 15 meters in width, rising 9 meters above the Danube River at kilometer marker 2202.72.
In 1765, a treaty between the Prince-Bishopric of Passau and the Archduchy of Austria established the border between Bavaria and Upper Austria at this location.
The name Jochenstein originates from ancient drinking rituals during solstices, which later transformed into Christian baptism ceremonies for river navigators.
The island stands 78 meters from the northern riverbank and 187 meters from the southern shore, covering a total area of 0.045 hectares.
An 18th-century shrine and stone statue of Saint John Nepomuk, the patron of sailors, remain positioned on the rock formation.
