The Bärengraben, or Bear Pit, is in the Swiss capital city of Bern. It is a bear pit, like a zoo type enclosure for brown bears. In the city, there is also BärenPark, a larger and more natural enclosure alongside the River Aar. It is fun but weird to see these big animals right next to streets and houses. Bears used to freely roam the city!
The boys kept wanting to go on more “bear hunts” (just to spot them, of course. There are no hunters in this family.)
