This is the result of a weathering process that is called woolbag weathering in geological terminology. The Bohemian Massif was formed 300 million years ago. Precipitation water that seeped into the earth washed out underground fissures and caves, the decomposition of the granite blocks began, and the rounded woolbag shapes were formed. The Bärenstein is thus a result of hundreds of millions of years of earth evolution.
