Hiking

The Bärentalwächter and the associated rock gate are among the most spectacular, but also the most demanding destinations in the Bärental. Unlike the paths in the valley floor, the detour to these rock formations requires surefootedness, sturdy footwear, and ideally poles as well, as the path can be steep and slippery.

Hiking

The Bärentalwächter is a bit hidden in the Bärental. Coming from Krassach it is just before a crest left a steep path uphill. I recommend walking shoes and hiking sticks, you definitely need it downhill again. Little handy path

Hiking

Follow the path of Bärentalwächter steeply uphill to the left. The climb is definitely worth it. I would almost say the Prebischor in Franconia.
