The lakeside road connects Thun and Interlaken along the northern shore. It's recommended to cycle towards Interlaken, as this offers the best views of the beautiful lake. Since you'll pass through several short tunnels, your bicycle should be equipped with front and rear lights. Please note that due to the limited space on the hillside, there is no dedicated cycle lane. However, as it's not a main thoroughfare, cycling is still quite pleasant.
