The three national border pillars were erected in 1995 to replace an older, singular monument.
The Czech and Polish pillars are connected by a pedestrian bridge over the ravine, while the Slovak pillar stands on the opposite bank.
The point is located in the western part of the Silesian Beskids, a mountain range spanning all three countries.
The site marks the end of the Polish village of Jaworzynka, the Slovak village of Čierne, and the Czech village of Hrčava.
The Czech side, Hrčava, is the second most eastern village in the Czech Republic.
The Triborder point in Jaworzynka is the geographic convergence where the borders of Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic meet. The site features three distinct granite obelisks, each representing one of the bordering nations. The exact meeting point is situated in a valley at the confluence of the Worońcówka and Czadeczka streams. Visitors can walk around a small bridge that spans the stream, allowing them to traverse all three countries in a few seconds. The area is marked by a wooden footbridge and clear signage indicating the national borders. It is a popular destination for hikers and those interested in border geography. The site is accessible via maintained forest trails from the village of Jaworzynka. The surrounding Beskid Mountains provide the topographic context for this convergence point.
From the center of the wooden footbridge, allowing you to capture all three granite obelisks in a single frame.
Wear sturdy waterproof hiking shoes, as the path near the stream can be muddy.
Bring an ID card or passport, as you will technically cross international borders while walking around the monument.
Combine the visit with a short hike to the nearby village of Hrčava for local regional refreshments.
Do not attempt to drive all the way to the pillars, as the final access path is for pedestrians only and parking is restricted to the village outskirts.
