Switzerland - Bernese Oberland

Thun

A Karen Brown Recommendation

Thun is a picturesque medieval village nestled at the west end of Lake Thun. It has an intriguing shopping area with two levels. You walk along the top level built above the arcaded buildings below, and drop to the lower street to do your shopping. Crowning a hill above the town is a fabulous old castle, built in the 12th century by the Duke of Zähringen. Getting there by a covered staircase from the village is half the fun. From the turrets, which are open as a museum, there is a ravishing panoramic view of Thun, the lake, and mountains beyond.
