Bärenfels – Gewächshaus ***

The solid and compact wall of “Bärenfels” (Bear Rock) offers both beginner and advanced climbers a wide assortment of routes and a pleasant place to be. Great Jura limestone is typical (especially in the upper grades) for “Gewächshaus”. The bolting leaves a bit to be desired though. The easier routes also tend to be more vegetated and overgrown. The rock stays wet long after rainfall.

A 60 m rope is needed for most routes. A 50 m rope, as incorrectly stated in the guidebook 2017, is not sufficient.
