Teddy bears in the streets of Nuremberg, Germany

Cute! I found this group of teddy bears in front of a doll shop. Can you imagine my surprise to meet bears in the streets of Nuremberg? On the other hand, it wasn’t my first bear-related experience on this day.

My bear-related experiences in Nuremberg

A few hours earlier, I saw an inn sign depicting a medieval honey hunter. These professionals used to collect honey from wild bees. The bears around Nuremberg did pretty much the same. So honey hunters used crossbows to fight the bears. And now I met these dangerous beasts personally sipping a cup of coffee.

Another bear experience in Vienna

Speaking about bears, I also met one in Vienna. While waiting for the next subway, a notably polite one waved at me from a nearby house. Well, sort of: The bear in Vienna.
