The border point is situated at the exact confluence of the Lužická Nisa (Neisse) and Oldřichovský potok (Mandau) rivers.
The intersection point is marked by three heavy stone pillars, each engraved with the national emblem of the respective country.
Despite being a tri-point, the actual convergence point is located in the middle of the river, meaning visitors walk around the land-based markers nearby.
The site is a major hub for the Euroregion Neisse-Nisa-Nysa, a cross-border cooperation project established to integrate the local border communities.
The location is connected to the 'Green Path' network of hiking trails that span the three national forests.
The Granica 3 państw, also known as the Dreiländereck, marks the confluence point where the borders of Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic meet on the Neisse and Mandau rivers. The site features formal boundary markers placed by each of the three nations at the confluence of the two waterways. Historically a river-based border point, the area has been developed into a pedestrian-accessible park area connected by bridges spanning the international borders. Visitors can physically stand at the junction point and traverse across German, Polish, and Czech territory within seconds. The site is part of the Zittau Mountains region and is maintained through cross-border cooperation between Zittau, Hrádek nad Nisou, and Sieniawka.

Bring a valid passport or national ID card, as local authorities may occasionally conduct random checks in this international zone.
Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the path from the nearest parking areas involves uneven terrain and gravel paths.
Check local weather forecasts, as the site is fully exposed to the elements with very little overhead shelter.
Do not attempt to cross the river outside of the designated footbridges, as current levels can be unpredictable.
Respect the physical border markers; do not climb, deface, or sit on the monuments.
