    Hiking

    The exposed walls of the Bären are located directly next to the fortifications built by the Dutch in the 17th century. Bär is an old term for a lock or a barrier. The Reeser Bären is a connecting dam that blocked the inland fortress moats against the inflow of the Rhine. The associated lock system regulated the flow of water into the fortress moat. In addition to the task of regulating water, the Bären also served as a protective function against flooding and ice drift.
