The fortifications, consisting of the Grosse Schanze (Great Fort) and the Kleine Schanze (Little Fort), are part of Bern's last city fortifications in the west of the Old Town, dating from the 17th century. When they no longer served a defensive purpose, they were transformed into parkland in several stages.
The Kleine Schanze, with its adjacent park café, offers the public a climate-adapted and almost barrier-free recreational area in the heart of the city. The park's popularity is being addressed with additional seating and more lawn space.
