Boundary Stone 147

Boundary Stone 147, also called the Grenzstein Dreiländereck, stands where Tyrol, Bavaria, and Vorarlberg meet in the Alps. The marker sits at the exact spot where territorial lines intersect in the high mountain terrain.

The stone was placed over centuries as a physical marker of border agreements between Austria and Germany. These treaties shaped the territorial lines that define the region today.

This boundary marker connects three German-speaking regions with their own local traditions and ways of life that remain distinct today. Visitors often notice how the architecture and customs shift subtly as they cross between the different sides.

Several hiking routes lead to this marker from different starting points, with signs marking the mountain paths. The terrain is steep, so wear proper hiking boots and plan for a walk that takes several hours.

Standing at this spot lets visitors touch three different administrative regions at the same time from a single point. This is a rare chance to experience how close these distinct areas actually are to one another.
