Thun- the city of the Alps. The snow-capped Eiger, Mönch and
Jungfrau greet from the horizon. Lake Thun's sapphire blue waves ripple against
the pristine air. Such prominent tourists as Goethe and Brahms were enchanted
by Thun. Today's visitors appreciate the picturesque Old Town, the festivals and
the myriad sports and leisure opportunities.
Medieval valour and Belle-Epoque elegance are united in Thun. The
castle hill affords perfect views of the picturesque old city and Scherzlig Church,
first mentioned in 762 and one of the 12 legendary 1000-year-old churches of Lake
Thun.
