An idyllic lake of Kogler with a bathing area at your own risk. Unfortunately too cold at this time of year

Western Europe's largest bear sanctuary is currently home to 12 brown bears rescued from zoos, circuses, and private keeping. Bears that have lived in captivity can no longer be released into the wild – they are too dependent on humans and would not survive in the wild. The BÄRENWALD Müritz, an animal welfare project by VIER PFOTEN, offers an alternative for such bears: In near-natural enclosures, the bears can rediscover their instincts and live out their natural behavior – roaming, retreating, digging dens, bathing in the pond, or going into hibernation. https://www.baerenwald-mueritz.de/

Yes, the tipi is quite nice. It gives you time to process what you have experienced so far.

The entire tour is instructive and should make us think about how we treat animals. So if you went to an animal circus before the park, hopefully you won't do it again afterwards.
