What travellers are saying
- MikeUnwinZurich, Switzerland49 contributionsThis might be just a random fun fountain. Bern has a lot of fountains and you possibly have to come up with some slightly crazy ideas to have so many fountains and not repeat them. Kindlifresser is one way to translate Ogre. As such I think it’s a play on an Ogre fountain with a bit of tongue in cheek humour. Even if not I came close to giving it 5 stars because others have rated it 1 star because it offends them. I hope those same people don’t play computer games or frankly do anything if they’re so easily offended.Written 21 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SwissshamooBern, Switzerland187 contributionsThey are all beautiful and interesting. In the early 90's, the sound of the water fountains in Bern remembered you how bored can be a traditional Swiss city on Sunday's afternoon. Today the activity have change and I cannot say if by nostalgy or by age, I miss now the old times where the only noise of the downtown was reduced to their water falling in those not too cold daysWritten 2 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rajesh_inMumbai, India1,287 contributionsSchutzenbrunnen is in Bern & on the old town main street. Above a small fountain, a statue depicts a marksman holding a banner & a bear aiming a firearm. The fountain is nice & the statue is nice too. It's near the old clock tower. This is a part of the Bern city tour.Written 5 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Akshaya SNoida, India432 contributionsAnother unique fountain on Spitalgasse is another fascinating fountain within the old town.

- bergfischerParaza, France401 contributionsWhile Bern is full of fountains with statues on top, this fountain is really different. Created by M Oppenheimer, the creator of the "fur cup" in the collection of the MoMa and other artworks, it is a living fountain. All kind of stuff grows on it and changed the look of the fountain.Written 22 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
