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?
