Careful if you get lost in the beauty of Bern’s Aare river. Don’t you see the bear?! This and all other photographs by author Luciano Abriata.

SPRING REPORT WEEK #15

Bears and flowers in Bern

Just crossing Bern’s main river, the Aare, and leaving behind its UNESCO heritage center,

you get to Bern’s Bears Park right at the riverside. And then walking up a small hill behind the Bears Park, you get to the Rosengarten gardens, full of flowers in spring and summer among which a selection of roses.

Come to discover the bears and flowers of Bern.

The bears park

Summarizing from here at MySwitzerland.com,

Since 1513 bears have been at home in Bern: until 1857 in the town itself, then in the bear pit, and since 2009 in the new and spacious bear park. This last place, on the banks of the Aare, stretches from the former bear pit opposite the center of Bern to the river. Visitors can get into the park to get closer to the bears and know about them. The Bear Pit used since 1857 still exists and has been listed as a federal cultural asset of national significance.

The new park is set mainly on a green hill that includes caves and a closed section of the Aare river where the bears can swim.

Here I got one close to the camera:

The Rosengarten

The Rosengarten is a garden park located above Bern’s old town and the Aare river, just on a side of the city. It hosts over 200 kinds of roses and also several varieties of irises and rhododendrons.

A curiosity: From 1765 to 1877 the Rosenarden was the cemetery of the old town. It is a public park since 1913.
