    The bear garden near Hohenstein was built in 1609 on the instructions of the Saxon Elector Christian II. Until the middle of the 18th century, bears were kept and misused for animal hounds in Dresden (Zwinger, Altmarkt, Großsedlitzer Garten).

    The lower barrier wall of the bear garden formerly crossed the entire gorge. The remains show that it was over 1 m thick. The original height is no longer detectable because it was later removed.
