Ursalia

Ursalia is the ancient Gummi Bear capital city located in the Northern Mountains, which appears in five episodes of the animated series Adventures of the Gummi Bears.
==Background==
Ursalia was once home to thousands of Gummi Bears until they had to abandon the city and escape from the jealous humans who would try to steal their secrets. Only Sir Thornberry stayed behind to take care of the city.
The city was never seen again, until Gruffi and Cubbi journey to Ursalia in the episode "The Road to Ursalia", to find another Great Book of Gummi, as their original book was burnt by accident.
After meeting and dealing with Lady Bane, an owner of a second Gummi Bear Medallion, who wants the secrets of Gummi magic all for herself, the heroes find the underground library, accessed through a secret entrance underneath the city square's fountain, only to discover that most of its books have long deteriorated to uselessness. Fortunately, Thornberry gives Gruffi a magic bookmark that allows the Great Book of Gummi Glen to be restored.
In "Return to Ursalia", the Gummies of Gummi Glen all return to Ursalia a while later, to find the city repopulated by Ursa and her Barbic clan of Gummies.
In "True Gritty", Cubbi accidentally wrecks Ursalia's water reservoir. As Gruffi, Ursa, and Sir Thornberry try to fix the problem following the city's aqueduct, Cubbi and Gritty go on their own adventure in the city's surrounding Northern Mountains.
In "The Rite Stuff", Cavin accompanies the Gummies on his first trip to the city in order to meet the Barbics, only to find that he has to prove himself in a manhood ritual, which Buddy has to undergo as well, to become a full member of his tribe.
After Gummi Glen is partially destroyed by a termite in the second part of the series finale "King Igthorn", the Gummies of Gummi Glen join the Barbic clan in celebration of Igthorn's defeat. It is possible that the Gummies of Gummi Glen move to Ursalia, if only temporarily.
Ursalia, like Gummadoon, has an "open-air" system of Quick Car Tracks which mostly employs swan-shaped Quick Cars that are able to glide in the air for short distances, instead of the tradional hawk-shaped Quick Cars that are used for underground travel.
The city also houses the Ursalia Horn at one point, as well as one of the two known Gummiscopes on the continent, which can be used to get in contact with the Great Gummies across the ocean, in New Gumbria.

==Trivia==
*Despite being introduced to the show at the beginning of season 5, the city is actually first mentioned early on in the series' second season episode "Over the River and Through the Trolls". When Cavin shares the story of how his grandfather first found the Gummi Bear Medallion while he "was doing some 'sploring in the Northern Mountains", to which Zummi remarks "that's close to Ursalia!"
