Location


The Plöckenstein lies between the Austrian village of Schwarzenberg to the south and the Czech village of Nová Pec to the NE. Northeast of, and below the summit on Czech soil, is the lake of Plöckensteiner See, the southernmost of eight glacial lakes in the Bohemian Forest; the northern mountainside is the core zone of the Bohemian Forest National Park (Šumava National Park). The Jezerní potok (Seebach) stream rises on the mountain. About 7 km northeast, in the Czech Republic, is the western end of the Lipno Reservoir.


Tripoint and extreme point


The Plöckenstein lies about 1.3 km east of the tripoint between Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic.[2] The tripoint is roughly east of the Bavarian Plöckenstein (1,365 m above sea level (NHN)). The area of the tripoint is also called Dreiecksmark (Trojmezí, "tripoint") and links the two Plöckensteins over a saddle (1,321 m above NHN).

West of the Plöckenstein is Austria's northernmost point.

Sights


During the Cold War the border area of the Bohemian Forest was inaccessible to citizens of the Eastern Bloc because the Iron Curtain ran through it. The new government under Marián Čalfa, which came to power on 10 December 1989, dismantled the border fortifications in December 1989 (see also the Velvet Revolution).

Among the sights and attractions in the area of the Plöckenstein are the following (in alphabetical order):
