This hillside habitat in Berne differs greatly from the bear pit of 1191 when Duke Berthold V vowed to name the town after the first animal his hunt found in the nearby woods. The first records of bears being kept in the city date back to 1513 when soldiers brought live bears home as spoils of war.

Tour guide was excellent. She was very informative and pleasant. The driver was nice as well. The Eurotel hotel was excellent. While the Reneceance hotel rooms were very small and on main Street which makes it noisy if your room on a lower floor.
