The name Königssteig derives from a visit by King John of Saxony on August 23, 1885 to the Bärenstein. A plaque on a rock commemorates this. There is a bank in this place.

On August 23, 1885, His Majesty King John of Saxony deigned to honor the Bärenstein with his visit.
For this reason, this hiking trail is called the Bärenstein Königssteig. A plaque on a rock commemorates this visit.
The existing bank invites you to rest.
From there you can continue to the summit of the Bärenstein, on which you can walk a beautiful circular path. The vantage points offer beautiful views of the other mountains of the Ore Mountains on both sides of the German-Czech border. On the summit of the Bärenstein you can climb the observation tower (26m high) in the accommodation house or enjoy the Ore Mountain cuisine.
