From the border village of Kuzma, the trail winds along easy paths through vast forests, green meadows, and over rolling hills. The destination of this leisurely borderland hike is the forested summit of the Slovenia-Austria-Hungary tri-border area, marked by a three-sided truncated pyramid. Following the 1919 Treaty of Saint-Germain, a commission designated the point on the watershed between the Mur and Raab rivers; the stone bearing the coats of arms of the three countries was erected in May 1923. This landmark is also the westernmost point of Hungary. It lies on the “Green Belt,” a long-distance hiking trail and European nature conservation project along the former Iron Curtain, which had separated Eastern and Western Europe until 1989. Today, the Green Belt is a peace project that brings people together in the heart of Europe.
Our hike to the Slovenia-Austria-Hungary tri-border area begins at the central roundabout in Kuzma. We use the church as our landmark and take the road that leads uphill past the roundabout. We leave the village and walk through a wooded area, keeping straight ahead and following the path, which is sporadically marked with bike path signs and trilingual “Three-Country Corner” signs. The trail is part of the “Green Belt” and leads us directly to our destination. After walking just under two kilometers, we reach a fork at the Austrian border, where we follow the trail to the right and slightly downhill. At the next intersection, with a rest bench between two birch trees, we keep to the right and walk through a cluster of houses. Ten minutes later, we reach the old customs house, but continue straight ahead there. Shortly thereafter, keeping to the right at a fork, we enter a gravel path. At the next fork, we turn right again, hike downhill for a bit, and—keeping to the right once
