The old bear pit in the Possen leisure and recreation park (near Sondershausen) was a traditional excursion destination for decades. Today it is no longer used as a classic pit. Luckily! The brown bears at Possen now live in a modern, species-appropriate expanded natural enclosure that was rebuilt in cooperation with the Foundation for Bears.

Old bear pit: very creepy, you can't get out of it on your own. A local resident told me that it was still "in operation" around 1950.

It's worth a quick stop, as this type of pump is quite rare, as you can read.

As a bear cage it is inhuman, as a lost place it is a dream.

When we finally arrived at the roundabout, we were amazed and delighted by the magnificent view. The Sondershausen roundabout is a semicircular structure built in 1910, with a World War II memorial dedicated in 1929, located on the Hainleite ridge. Located at 390 meters above sea level, it serves as a vantage point, including views of Sondershausen's town center and the Harz Mountains.
