Highlights

Bay of Spiez
Nestled among gentle hills and vineyards, Spiez is said to be Europe's most beautiful bay. Spiez Castle towers over the bay and can be seen for miles.
Beatus caves
Release the dragon! Hunted by St Beat, a 6th-century monk, the story goes that the mythological creature took shelter in this extraordinary geological site – St Beatus Caves, next to the lakes of Interlaken. Explore deep into the very heart of the mountain along over a kilometer of well-lit walkways, and discover stalactites and stalagmites that have been formed by nature over millions of years; the rock formations themselves creating a truly indescribable atmosphere deep underground.
Interlaken
Interlaken is a traditional resort town in the mountainous Bernese Oberland region of central Switzerland. Built on a narrow stretch of valley, between the emerald-colored waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, it has old timber houses and parkland on either side of the Aare River.

The viewpoint belongs to the municipality of Unterseen in the canton of Bern with the slopes shared between the municipalities of Unterseen and Interlaken. The viewpoint offers extensive views across Interlaken, the alluvial land called Bödeli, and southwards up the valley of the river Lütschine to the high peaks of the Bernese Alps, whilst itself forming part of the Emmental Alps.
