Großer Bärenstein, Mountain summit in Saxon Switzerland, Germany.
The Großer Bärenstein reaches 327 meters in height and features two distinct peaks separated by a natural saddle formation in the sandstone landscape.
Records from 1548 first mentioned this geographical formation as 'im Behrenstein', marking its early documentation in Saxon Switzerland's regional history.
Local forester Wilhelm Mahn developed the initial hiking infrastructure, transforming the Großer Bärenstein into an accessible destination for outdoor recreation.
Multiple climbing routes traverse the summit, with the northern path via Riegelhofstiege requiring technical skills while the Naundorf approach offers an easier ascent.
The summit presents different perspectives: northward views extend to Stadt Wehlen and the Elbe valley, while southern vistas encompass Königstein Fortress.
