This Swiss winter wonderland is also a summer playground. Snow-frosted peaks tower above charming towns and villages like Interlaken. Its position, between lakes Thun and Brienz, makes a perfect base for cable car rides up Jungfrau, Mšnch and Eiger or for hikes from traditional village Grindelwald.

Unspunnen Castle

Reviewed By briandH4431UR

I returned here in September 2019 after having first visited as a child in 1968. It was even bigger and more impressive than I remembered. It's a small castle off the beaten path form either Interlaken or Wilderswil, but it is wonderful to climb around and explore. No gift shops or glitzy exhibits...just a honest to goodness historical site with just enough information to give you perspective, but not too much to inhibit your imagination.

Rothenfluh Ruins

Tiny castle under an overhang. Worth the walk to get a feeling of medieval history. It's tiny, so i would suggest it as a part of acwalk rather than a destination in itself. The path down is not in the older weg maps.
