redesigned stone in the vicinity of Hummelshain. (one stone of several in the area)
Stands on what is probably the most powerful beech in the SHK area.
It commemorates the last bear that was killed here.
In the Saugarn can be explained in two ways. In historical maps the area is called there Sauarten and the old word Saugarn goes back to a hunting method used to catch wild boar. A fishing net.
Maybe that was used to catch the bear or it got caught in the net?

The relatively new memorial stone to the last bear caught in the area stands under an imposing beech tree directly on the forest path. Finding him is not difficult. Possibility of having a rest with a bench next to a feeding rack right next to it.
On April 24, 2020, the beech on the Bärenkopf was chosen as the largest red beech in the district. It has a trunk diameter of 1.55 m and a circumference of 4.90 m
