Lake Thun

A stunning Alpine Lake with deep blue water, Lake Thun lies tucked away between the villages of Interlaken and Thun in the Bernese Oberland. Nestled on the northern edge of the towering Mount Alps, the lake has an exquisite scenery that is brilliantly reflected on its pristine surface. Little medieval villages and Romanesque churches dot the lake’s shoreline, adding to the lake’s beauty. A beautiful example of Swiss architecture from the 12th century may be seen in the adjacent town of Thun. While taking the most recommended lake cruise, you could see this from the middle of the lake.
