Excursions 
Since the restoration of the Bear Pit in 1996, the animals are not just kept in a pit. The newly designed landscape offers the animals rocks and caves, a fir tree for climbing, a deep water basin for swimming and several substrata under ground. A landscape where some rare plants florish according to the season, and where animals have to find their food themselves daily - unless the visitor offers the bear a snack in the form of food appropriate for this species of animal. The food can be bought from the bear guard.
How to get there:
From the trains station by Bus No. 12 to stop "Bärengraben".
