Where three countries meet

The tripoint in Jaworzynka is the place where the borders of Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia converge. The meeting point lies in the bed of a small stream that carries a different name on each side of the border: Wawrzaczów Potok in Polish, Kubankowski Potok in Czech and Potok Gorylów in Slovak.

What is on the spot

The border is marked by three identical three-sided obelisks bearing the names of the countries, one on each side. A paved footpath leads to the point and a wooden footbridge crosses the stream to the Slovak side. Shelters for tourists and small food outlets have been arranged on the Czech and Slovak sides, and in summer horses are pastured on the surrounding meadows.

Access and surroundings

A yellow trail 1.4 km long runs here from Jaworzynka, and you can drive almost to the border point along Trójstyk street, where a parking spot has been set out by the frontier. All around stretch the Beskids, with scattered hamlet buildings.
