The Kleiner Bärenstein is a table mountain between Thürmsdorf and Oberrathen.
The ascent initially leads along narrow paths through mixed forest. Via steps and past rock faces, you reach the summit plateau. Once at the top, hikers can enjoy a foliage-free view of the Table Mountains and the Elbe Valley, especially in winter.
The remains of a former restaurant, which was abandoned after the Second World War, can be seen in the summit area.

Caution is advised in snow and icy conditions. Ideally, you should put so-called Grödel hiking boots under your hiking boots to be particularly sure-footed. Grödel can be hired from the Bad Schandau activity center.
