Lake Thun

Built around a glacial lake and the Aare waterway, the Lake Thun region grew into a chain of lakeside communities on the northern edge of the Bernese Oberland. The lake extends from Thun toward Interlaken, while the Aare carries its water onward at the western end. Peaks of the Bernese Alps rise beyond the shores, and scheduled boats connect settlements around the water. In Thun, the 12th-century Thun Castle overlooks the old town; Oberhofen Castle is another prominent landmark on the north shore. Lake Thun also forms part of the water route linking Lake Brienz with the Aare valley.
