The UNTERWEGS climbing hall in Bremen is a really nice one. It is a branch of the official German Alpine Association (in German: DAV) and offers several climbing possibilities. Apart from the main hall, that offers tall walls with many lead climbing routes as well as some already-prepared top-rope stations, there's a small bouldering section (also good for warm-up). On the upper floor you will find a secondary rope climbing section that simply has shorter routes, and a good view on the main hall from above. There's probably a training section hidden somewhere, but I haven't really explored the whole building (a pretty impressive building).
Like any traditional hall, there's a little bar that offers coffee, snacks and a friendly personnel. One may also, of course, rent the necessary climbing gear at the reception. The entrance fee is not cheap, but it's worth it if you're eligible for reduction (student, DAV member etc.).
The climbing area is fine and clean; the routes are diverse and long; the atmosphere is calm and often feels family-like, especially during rush hour when many kids, families and groups are present. The self-securing devices, which allow you to climb without the need of a partner are really fun!
I enjoy coming here and looking forward to taking the lead climbing course at some point. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone who finds passion in climbing; whether you're a beginner, an experienced climber or if you just want to get a taste of it for the first time :)
