The Abteröder Bär is a rock from the Zechstein dolomite.
It is called "bear" because the 3-4m high prominent rock reminds of an upright bear.
The rock and its location are a botanical and geological natural monument and are under special protection.

A striking stone in an exposed location - it is dolomite - in the shape of a bear on the outskirts of Abterode and in the immediate vicinity of the Abterode church ruins.
