点评:I visited Bern for a few hours yesterday, (13th March, 2025), from a ski resort an hour away. The very helpful lady at tourist information gave me a map of the “old town” and highlighted points of interest. (I highly recommend visiting the EINSTEIN-HAUS). When I enquired about the bears she advised me not to bother going as “they are still sleeping.”
Walking the route she gave me later in the day, I did notice quite a few people overlooking an area which turned out to be the bear pit. Apparently all three bears have come out of hibernation very recently and I was able to see Finn, the father bear walking around the enclosure. Apparently Björk, (mother bear), and Ursina, (baby bear… although she is actually 15 years old now), were somewhere around also.
The staff on site were answering questions from visitors and the man that I spoke with was very helpful. The negative reviews on TA seem to have been written by people who have not researched BärenPark Bern… they don’t seem to have knowledge of the adjacent 6,000 square metre enclosure by the side of the river, complete with a pool, which the bears can access via a tunnel.
STATUS OF BEAR WELFARE - Zoocheck:- BärenPark meets and exceeds their minimum welfare standards. Another positive is that the bears are living with their family and will never be persecuted by hunters!
翻译:昨天(2025 年 3 月 13 日),我从一小时车程外的一个滑雪胜地游览了伯尔尼几个小时。旅游信息处的一位非常乐于助人的女士给了我一张“老城区”的地图,并标出了景点。(我强烈推荐参观爱因斯坦之家)。当我询问熊的情况时,她建议我不要去,因为“它们还在睡觉”。
当天晚些时候,我沿着她给我的路线走,确实注意到有不少人俯瞰着一个原来是熊坑的区域。显然,这三只熊最近都从冬眠中醒来,我能看到爸爸熊芬恩在围栏周围走动。显然,比约克(熊妈妈)和乌尔西娜(熊宝宝……虽然她现在已经 15 岁了)也在附近的某个地方。
现场工作人员正在回答游客的问题,与我交谈的那位男士非常乐于助人。 TA 上的负面评论似乎是由没有研究过伯尔尼熊园的人写的……他们似乎不知道河边有一个 6,000 平方米的围栏,里面有一个水池,熊可以通过隧道进入。
熊的福利状况 - Zoocheck:- BärenPark 达到并超过了最低福利标准。另一个积极因素是熊与家人生活在一起,永远不会受到猎人的迫害!
