Bärengraben bears (Bearpit)

Bern

  • You may access Bärengraben, one of Bern’s icons, by crossing the Aare River from the Old Town. Visitors may enjoy seeing some of the cute bears’ behaviors in the room-sized, circular bear pit.
  • The bear has served as Bern’s sign since according to local mythology, the city’s founder swore to name Bern after the first animal he would hunt. When you go to the bear pit, you may take photographs of the bears as they explore their surroundings and goof about. An enjoyable trip to view the bears in Bern.
