Iseltwald Travel Guide: 9 reviews and 14 photos

Iseltwald is a pictuesque little town located on Lake Brienz in the Bernese Oberland area of Switzerland (a couple towns away from Interlaken). It's almost picture perfect with the blue/green lake, sweeping mountain vistas, intricately carved wooden chalets and abundant brightly colored flowers. Little towns like this are how I envisioned Switzerland but are even more captivating in person.

My only taste of Switzerland besides your pages is a brief fix at the Zurich airport. Nice memories from both. . .
