Bruno the Bear Remembered

June 19, 2007 at 9:04 AM | 0 Comments

Avid Jaunted readers will remember our coverage a year ago of Germany's Bruno the Bear problem: an escapee bear who tormented Bavaria by randomly killing sheep and chickens, Bruno was eventually--controversially--killed.

So now, in honor of Bruno, the Bavarian tourism authorities have marked out a walk through the woods named the Bear Strategy Path. It follows the very same rivers, woods and autobahn paths that Bruno took and is scattered with "Bear Tips" on how to live a happy life.

Kind of ironic, as nobody can accuse Bruno's life of being too happy. And as for Bruno himself: his corpse is waiting on ice for a promised spot in a museum.
