Faulensee is best known within the Bernese Oberland for its setting on the southern shore of Lake Thun. This small lakeside locality forms part of the municipality of Spiez, between the water and the rising slopes that lead into the Alps. Lake Thun is one of the region’s principal bodies of water, linking the area around Thun with Interlaken at its eastern end and supporting regular passenger boat services. Faulensee has a public lakeside bathing area and a small harbour, giving it a distinctly local, residential character beside a major Swiss excursion route. In nearby Spiez, the medieval Spiez Castle and its church testify to the long settlement history of the lake shore.
