    The local chronicler's bench below the Bärenstein summit cross offers a beautiful, albeit constantly overgrown, view of the Ore Mountains landscape.

    from here you have a beautiful view, worthwhile in every season
    Translated by
    During the steep ascent to the Bärenstein (300m), the local historians' bench is located approximately 200m below the summit. From here, there is a fantastic view of Cranzah and the surrounding hills of the Ore Mountains, including the Fichtelberg, Klínovec (Keilberg), and others. Good footwear and sure footing are essential when attempting this steep climb.
