    One of the last bears in the Thuringian Forest is said to have been shot here. Today not much more than a crossroads with a refuge.
    Translated by
    The bear stone is a memorial stone in the Ilm district (Thuringia), which is located between the Lütschetalsperre and Dörrberg, a district of Geratal, on the Waldsberg and is intended to commemorate the shooting of the last bear (see brown bear) in Thuringia.
    It stands at the point where the district forester Hans Balthasar Harras is said to have hunted down the last bear of the Thuringian Forest on August 14, 1671.
    The memorial stone is located near the Waldsberg head at an altitude of 700 m.
    There is a memorial plaque at a refuge, the so-called Bärenstein hut.
