06 Jun Bearpark Bern
The Bearpark Bern is one of the most famous sights in Bern and is part of every stay. Since the reconstruction in 2009, the bears have a large and species-appropriate facility. The park is not only popular with guests, but also with Mr. and Mrs. Schweizer.
Location
The Bearpark Bern is located in the middle of the city of Bern. The park is located on the opposite bank of the Aare from the old town and can easily be reached on foot. In addition, the park, also known as the “Bärengraben”, is part of the main part of Dählhölzli, two kilometres to the south-west. Due to the good public transport connections, the Bärengraben is reached by bus approximately every 10-15 minutes. But the park is also easy to reach on foot, depending on your running style you have about 30 minutes. At the same time you can admire the beautiful old town of Bern and its buildings. From Chalet Anemone in Grindelwald you have about 1. 30 hours to Bern by train or by car about 1 hour.
Bears in the Bearpark Bern
The Bearpark Bern and the Bärengraben are currently shared by the bears Finn, Ursina and Björk. Three bears have been living together since 2013, before that there were four of them. The bear Björk gave birth to the bears Ursina and Berna in 2009, unfortunately the bear Berna had to leave the Bärgraben in 2013 after several conflicts with her mother Björk. Now Berna lives at Dobrich Zoo in Bulgaria.
Crest
In the history of the city of Bern a bear has always had a part. So the bear park has existed for several centuries. The bear is also the heraldic animal of the city and the canton of Bern.
Bear pit
The two circular bear pits are used differently nowadays. The Great Ditch is still a part of the bear enclosure. Small moat was opened to the public and is no longer used by the bears. Most of the time, the bears stay in the large outdoor enclosure on the Aare.
