The Great Bear Stone is 327 m above sea level. NHN high table mountain in Saxon Switzerland in the Saxon district of Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains . Immediately adjacent is the Kleiner Bärenstein , which, together with the Großer Bärenstein, forms the Bärenstein massif .
Location and surroundings
The Großer Bärenstein lies in the Elbe loop of Rathen . Right at the foot are the forests of the farmer Fleck from Weißig and the villages Thürmsdorf and Naundorf , as well as the district of Pötzscha from Stadt Wehlen .
There are several climbing rocks on the Großer Bärenstein. Its summit is “split in two” with a saddle. The north side offers a beautiful view of the city of Wehlen and the Elbe valley towards Pirna , while the south or east side offers a view of the Königstein fortress and the mountains between Papststein and Schrammsteinen .
The ascent can be done from Naundorf to the west (easy, without trail markings) or on the north side from Pötzscha (Riegelhofstiege, difficult, via ferrata).
view
In contrast to the Kleiner Bärenstein, the mountain is almost completely forested and therefore does not offer an unrestricted all-round view.
