Hike to the Steinernes Meer (DE), Dreiecksmark and Plöckenstein. Big climbs! Good footwear required and don't forget your passport! No trail number!
0 km You start the hike in Oberschwarzenberg at the Gasthof Dreiländereck and follow the signs (yellow aluminium signs indicating the destinations) Steinernes Meer, Dreiländereck, Plöckenstein and Weg der Entschleunigung.

1.8 km Shortly afterwards, do not overlook the turn-off to the right in the direction of Teufelsschüsseln. An ascending forest path follows. When you reach the Teufelsschüsseln (Devil's Bowls), you can enjoy a beautiful view after climbing the stairs.
Soon after you reach a narrow forest road, cross it and shortly after you reach a wider forest road. Walk uphill until you reach a sharp bend to the right. Here you leave the forest road and turn left. A short time later you will reach the Grenzbach stream. Here you also meet the Nordwaldkammweg. Cross the Grenzbach and follow the signs to the Steinernes Meer. 

3.4 km When you reach the Steinernen Meer (large boulder dump from the last Ice Age), enjoy the wonderful panoramic view. Walk back to the fork in the trail and take the Seesteig uphill to the ...

4.2 km ... Dreieckmark (meeting of the states of Austria-Bavaria-Czech Republic). 
Continue in an easterly direction parallel to the deceleration path, where after another 1-hour hike you ...

6.0 km ... you stand at the Plöckenstein (highest elevation in the Mühlviertel at 1379 m). A detour to the Stifterdenkmal (20 minutes one way) and to the Plöckensteinersee (55 minutes one way) on the Czech side is worthwhile. Especially the view of the lake from the Stifter obelisk is impressive.
However, bear in mind the difference in altitude to Lake Plöckenstein, which is about 300 m over a distance of about 2 km, and allow about 2 hours for the outward and return journey to Lake Plöckenstein.
At Plöckenstein, continue your hike along the Grenzsteig trail in an easterly direction. After about 10-15 minutes, turn right off the Grenzsteig and walk here in the direction of Schwarzenberg Ort, together with the Plöckensteinersee trail no. 21, which you leave again at the Zwiesel shelter hut. 
Here you continue right in the direction of Schwarzenberg and after about ½ hour you meet the Bavaria-Austria border stream, where you were already at the beginning of the hike. On the same route over the Teufelsschüsseln you now march downhill back to the starting point of the hike.

Starting point: Dreiländereck Inn, Oberschwarzenberg.
