Further information
The Kleine Schanze is a protected historical park with a remarkable history. Due to its central location near the railway station, it is used extremely intensively. It serves as an easily accessible place for working people to take their lunch break and as a meeting place after work. The view over the Marzili and the Aare as far as the Alps also attracts visitors and tourists to the site. © City of Bern
