Shortly afterwards, cross the Grenzbach stream (border with Bavaria) at Furth. From now on you will follow the Bavarian signposts (green signposts). You come to a forest road and continue along it. After 600 metres you leave this road and join the forest path on the right. Now continue uphill, crossing several forest roads, on beautiful forest paths until you come to a **fork** (**don't go towards the Dreisesselberg car park** here). Keep right and after about 700 metres you will join the asphalt road that leads up to the **4.4 km Dreisesselschutzhaus**. Ascent to the Dreisessel rock (1312 m): *According to legend, the Dreisessel got its name from the kings of the three countries, who are said to have once sat up here on rock armchairs to confer.* Take the **15-minute detour to the Hochstein (1332 m)**. The view of the mountains of the Bavarian Forest and, above all, the Czech Republic is marvellous. Back at the Dreisessel shelter, walk back along the tarmac road for about 400 metres and **don't overlook the... 5.8 km turn-off to the left to the Steinernes Meer**. On a beautiful forest path over... **8.0 km** roots and stones, the route climbs gently and flat to the **Sea of Stone.** *The strange rock formations were created by weathering and leave a fascinating impression. The greatest width is 250 metres and the length is around 400 metres.* Enjoy the magnificent view of the surrounding countryside, even as far as the Alps in fine weather. Downhill, always following the signposts, you cross the... **9.4 km Grenzbach** again. Now follow the yellow signposts again, where you take the path to the Oberschwarzenberg car park. An approximately 25-minute steep, stony path leads you downhill to the... **11.7 km starting point.** [Request our hiking map for EUR 3.00!](https://www.boehmerwald.at/kataloge-karten/prospekte) [With the free outdooractive app, you can hike the trail using navigation.](https://www.outdooractive.com/de/route/wanderung/region-boehmerwald/witiko-steig-teilstrecke/802594463/) [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 4164 Schwarzenberg am Böhmerwald **Destination:** 4164 Schwarzenberg am Böhmerwald **duration:** 4h 30m **length:** 10,0 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 443m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 447m **Lowest point:** 951m **Highest point:** 1.345m **difficulty:** medium **condition:** difficult **panoramic view:** Great panorama **Paths covering:** Path / trail, Hiking trail **Starting point:** Pendelin car park in Oberschwarzenberg (P1 - chargeable!). **Destination:** Pendelin car park in Oberschwarzenberg (P1 - chargeable!). **further information:** - Circular route - Possible accommodation - Board possible [ ![Altitude profile Witiko Climb Partial Section](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430000395&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Witiko Climb Partial Section](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430000395&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Witiko Climb Partial Section") [ Arrival ](#ttgCollapseAnreise) ---------------------------------- [ Suitability ](#ttgCollapseEignung) -------------------------------------- **Most economical season**- Spring - Summer - Autumn [ Accessibility ](#ttgCollapseBarrierefreiheit) ------------------------------------------------- Please get in touch for more information.
