Schwarzer Stein, Border marker at Germany-Switzerland boundary, Bargen, Switzerland.
The Schwarzer Stein stands at 821 meters altitude, featuring a limestone construction with a square base of 30 centimeters and extending 150 centimeters in height.
Established in 1839 during the Baden-Swiss border survey, this stone marker bears inscriptions on all four sides indicating territorial boundaries between Baden and Canton Schaffhausen.
The stone marker represents the intersection of German and Swiss communities, with local hiking clubs regularly organizing cross-border expeditions to this northern point.
Visitors can access the site via marked trails from Bargen, where they will find a designated picnic area with tables, benches, and a fire pit.
The limestone marker, numbered 593, contains specific engravings identifying Epfenhofen on the north face and Bargen on the south face, despite its name meaning Black Stone.
