Approx. 5 km uphill through the forest to Grünwald, the plateau at the very end. **Markings:** Yellow aluminium signs, shortened variant Bärensteinrunde, also red-white-red colour markings on trees. **0 km** **Starting point Grünwald car park / (926 m)**. Grünwald used to be a pure woodcutters' settlement. The Panyhaus takes its name from the enterprising clerk of Schlägl Abbey Josef Pany, a passionate property and house broker who bought plots of land in several villages in the region around 1825 and had small houses built. For example, he founded the village of Panidorf between Klaffer and Schwarzenberg. He would have liked to have built the Panyhaus himself, but he never got round to it. As both land and plans were available, his sister had this house built after his death in 1851, the first house in Grünwald. From the car park, turn right into the asphalt road. After approx. 200 metres, leave the road and follow the dirt track to the right. Now continue slightly uphill on the forest path to the **1.6 km Bärenstein** (1077 m), with a magnificent view of the Vltava reservoir. The Bohemian Massif was formed 300 million years ago. Rainwater seeping into the earth washed out underground fissures and caves, the decomposition of the granite blocks began and the round wool sack shapes were formed. Continue along the forest path moderately downhill to **3.0 km Grünwald** to the starting point.
