Introduction
The Bear Park, located in the Old Town district, was officially completed on October 25, 2009 and is the home of bears that symbolize the city of Bern. The park covers an area of 6,000 square meters and provides an open and natural space next to the water for the bears to play and live comfortably. Legend has it that the Duke of Zähringen caught a bear here during his first hunt, and the German word for bear is "Bär," which is why the city was named Bern.
