Thun Old Town and Castle

Highlight • Castle

Thun is a charming town with many attractions and an interesting old town with a unique castle. This towers over the town, from where the view of the old town, the lake and the Bernese Alps is magnificent. The town was founded in 1200 AD by the Dukes of Zähringen. The town is also culturally important: thun.ch/kulturevents.html. Every Wednesday and Saturday there is a weekly market in the Bälliz, which is an integral part of the tradition of life in Thun.

Fitness Park Indoor Pool Oberhofen

Highlight • Rest Area

Have you really exhausted yourself on your gravel tour through the Bernese Oberland and are you looking for relaxation and a sport to balance things out? Then the Oberhofen indoor swimming pool fitness park is just the place for you. Athletes, families and connoisseurs - everyone gets their money's worth at the Oberhofen fitness park.

During your training you will be rewarded with a wonderful view of Lake Thun and the surrounding mountains. You can really get started with core training on the light-flooded workout area with first-class strength and endurance equipment. And if you want to achieve your fitness goals in the water, you can swim laps in the indoor pool - in summer even in the lake.

After your sporting activities you can eat in the bistro or sizzle grilled food you brought with you on the barbecue area. And the kids can look forward to a playground or play mini golf with their parents.

Station Bridge

Highlight • Trail

The train station bridge connects the new districts of Thun with the old town. The view downstream towards the Scherzlig lock is particularly beautiful. The bridge is often decorated with flags and flowers.
