There are a few parking spaces at the Wolfsschlucht bus stop entrance, so you can start a nice circular hike. First, you walk across meadows and past farms to Welschenrohr, warming up for the climb to Bäreloch. The path to Bäreloch is narrow, but not dangerous.

The large Bäreloch with its many crevasses is very impressive.
