The majestic castle was built in its current form between 1847 and 1852 and was designed by the architect Pierre-Charles Dusillion, who trained at the Paris Ecole des Beaux-Arts. The magnificent complex with its castle park right on the lake shore is considered one of the most important works of romantic historicism in Switzerland. The city of Thun has owned the castle since 1925, which now houses a chic restaurant and hotel. You can find all information at schloss-schadau.ch/de.

July 4, 2023,🇨🇭Thuner See / See Umrundung in Ufernähe - Thun Interlaken Spiez

Circumnavigation of Lake Thun always close to the shore (as far as possible). Passage from Thun, Oberhofen, Interlaken (with a view of Jungfrau🏔️) and Spiez, among others. Beautiful round with a magnificent panorama on the way! For large parts of the route, the cycle path leads directly along the busy road, but is marked as a cycle path with separating …

Thank you, Vogler Franz (Ibex Gallery, Unterseen), for the delicious espresso. You were right, it reminded me of Italy. I'm looking forward to my trip this summer. Such spontaneous encounters make traveling a real experience. 😎

To finish off today, a tour around Lake Thun. We started at the TCS Camping Gwatt, just before Thurn.
The first stop was Schadau Castle in Thurn. It has a beautiful castle park. The castle itself is a hotel. You have a beautiful view of the lake and the mountains.
We continued on to Thurn, but we left it …

June 19, 2024,Schweiz. Rund um den Thuner See

We circle Lake Thun clockwise and enjoy the day at the lake. The cycle route often runs next to or on the road. But we don't have any problems with drivers, as others probably do from time to time.

Highlights:
- View of the Niesen, Dreispitz and many other peaks
- the romantic Oberhofen Castle
- driving through tunnels high …

November 15, 2024,Thunersee (- 500 hm)

Drove around Lake Thun in beautiful autumn weather. It was still fresh in the morning, especially before Interlaken. Temperature reading +0.0°C at a pharmacy.
The route to Interlaken through the rocky ledge is beautiful. Took the train to Beatenberg and then enjoyed the descent. The panoramic bridge at Sigriswil is special, but at 8.- it's a bit expensive. I wouldn't …
