THUN and ENVIRONS

by sandysmith - last update: May 1, 2005

Thunersee castles
A pleasant day can be spent on Lake Thun, not far from Interlaken in the Bernese Oberland, visiting the 3 castles around its shore - Thun, Oberhofen and Spiez. Please note weather not at its blue sky best so I have used a postcard.

see more in the "must see" section.
Thun shops
The shopping area in the old town is quite delightful with its small speciality shops. It reminds me very much of Chester in England as they too have walkways over the top of the shops.

In A Nutshell:"a great day out in Switzerland"

 I passed Thun on the way to Grindlewald and it looked stunning! I'll have to actually stop there on my next trip! Nice work!~Paige

 Even in overcast weather Thun looks very beautiful. These pizzas look gorgeous - hmmm, I get hungry :-)

 I love Switzerland, Sandy. Therefore, your pages are always such a treat. BTW, Augusta is one of my VT friends, too. She's a very nice person, we've had several discussions about Africa. I'm sure hanging out together was fun for both of you. : )
