The Bärensteine is a massif in the state of Saxony in eastern Germany near Weißig. It comprises the two hills known as the Großer and Kleiner Bärenstein (the "Great" and "Little Bear Rock") in Saxon Switzerland. The Kleiner Bärenstein has a height of 338 metres, the more prominent Großer Bärenstein is actually the lower of the two with a height of 327 metres. On the Kleiner Bärenstein there used to be a panorama restaurant that belonged to the manor house at Thürmsdorf. It was plundered in the years following the Second World War and demolished.
