A great wooden sculpture right at a crossroads.

This bear has now been marked as a highlight under various names. This situation probably arises from the sport you are doing when you create the highlight.

I myself gave the bear the name CORONA Bear because I first discovered it at the beginning of the Corona period when I visited my parents in the Wolfskuhle on our _home tour_ => komoot.com/de-DE/highlight/1550970?ref=ihd

The other woodcarvings there in the Luerwald, some of which were added to other highlights about the bear, are a little outside of our Sunday walk of my childhood in Oesbern.

Does anyone know exactly when these works of art were created? And maybe also who the creator/artist is?
