Due to its location and size, the Bärenhügel is one of the most landscape-dominating burial mounds in Thuringia. Based on the bronze finds, it is probably a Bronze Age burial site. The Bärenhügel is also located on one of the most important old paths, which is no longer really recognized or exists today.

This is a landmark on a plateau used for arable farming. The area called Bear Hill is not spectacular in itself. There, however, excavations on early history in Thuringia were successful.

Remnants of the embankment of the former Weimar – Rastenberg / Großrudestedt narrow-gauge railway are clearly visible here, especially towards the south, where the embankment is now a biotope and a place of retreat for plants and animals. To the north of the path is the site of the former stop on the route, connected to a paved path to Wohlsborn.
