This hillside habitat in Berne differs greatly from the bear pit of 1191 wnen 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.
