The Bärenschützklamm is probably the most impressive and the best developed gorge in Styria. It is cut into 400 Ma old limestone and has 200m to 300m deep vertical walls. On the other hand it is not easy to visit it, as it requires a 1.5 hour ascent, then the trip to through the gorge and finally back the same way. Even if its faster going downslope, one should plan 5 hours for the whole trip. Because of this most visitors decide to make a day tour and climb one of the peaks above the gorge, for example the Hochlantsch, which is a vertical distance of 1,270m from Mixnitz.
