Popis: The local magnetic properties of Yb$^{3+}$ in the layered honeycomb material YbCl$_{3}$ were investigated by electron spin resonance on single crystals. For in-plane and out-of-plane field orientations the $g$-factor shows a clear anisotropy ($g_\|=2.97(8)$ and $g_\bot =1.53(4)$), whereas the low temperature exchange coupling and the spin relaxation display a rather isotropic character. At elevated temperatures the contribution of the first excited crystal field level ($21\pm2$~meV) dominates the spin relaxation.
