Dreifürstenstein

High-altitude rest area (approx. 850 meters) on the Dreifürstenstein mountain with shelter and information board. The Albsteig leads directly past and the inclined hiker can enjoy a break with a wonderful view. From here you have a great view of Hohenzollern Castle, Mössingen, Tübingen. According to legend, the three ruling princes of Hohenzollern - Hechingen, Württemberg and Fürstenberg - met here earlier on the mountain. They wanted to take part in the social gatherings, each for themselves, but only on their territory, which is why, as history tells, a large stone table was built in the distant past - which many today, however, are looking for in vain. Now the three princes, each in their own area, could take a seat and enjoy hearty food and drink. Fortunately, this narrow-mindedness no longer exists today, and hikers from all over the world take a break here.
