Lake Brienz is located at the northern foot of the Alps, named after the village of Brienz on the northeast side of the lake, while Interlaken lies on its southwest side. Surrounded by steep peaks, a boat tour on Lake Brienz offers breathtaking views of the Alpine scenery. The glacial meltwater carries fine rock flour, giving the entire lake a rare turquoise hue that becomes especially vivid on sunny days. Paired with the steep cliffs and dense forests on both shores, every snapshot looks like a postcard—a highly distinctive hallmark of this lake. Themed cruise with rich experiences Lake Brienz cruise offers various types of experiences. In addition to regular sightseeing cruises, it also provides special themed cruise activities, such as "breakfast cruise", "Indian dinner cruise tour", or "fish and jazz tour" on the cruise ship deck, etc. These are worth experiencing for travelers who love Swiss cuisine. Visit the village of Brienz The village of Brienz on the east shore of the lake is a particularly quiet small town, with fewer visitors during the off-peak season, making it perfect for strolling. You can also take the historic steam train—the Brienz-Rothorn Railway—to reach Rothorn. Giessbach Falls Another destination of the Lake Brienz cruise is the Giessbach Falls, where white waterfalls cascade down from 500 m high into the lake, crashing against rocks with a deafening roar, creating a spectacular sight. Beside the falls stands the Giessbach Hotel, resembling a fairytale castle full of dreamy charm. Cycling and hikes around the lake Lake Brienz is also ideal for cycling around the lake, with well-planned bike routes that allow you to experience the beauty of the lake up close. There are significant elevation changes during the ride, and fog may occur in rainy weather, so it is recommended to choose a suitable route based on your fitness level. Of course, there are also popular hiking trails here, such as walking along the southern shore of Lake Brienz, starting from Bönigen and passing through Iseltwald to reach Giessbach.

Lake Lungern

Lake Lungern

6.2
4.5/5
2 reviews

Lake Lungern is a natural lake hidden in an Alpine valley, located next to the town of Lungern in the Canton of Obwalden, central Switzerland. On sunny days, the lake water takes on an emerald blue-green hue. The lakeshore is dotted with grassy slopes, traditional wooden houses, and churches with spires. Together, these elements create the quintessential Swiss postcard scene that many people imagine. Hiking around the lake is the main way to explore the area. The trail extends from Lungern station to the lakeshore, and a full loop is about 10 km, taking two to three hours to walk. The route is flat and can be easily managed in regular sneakers. The path is mostly gravel. Wooden viewing platforms and the area in front of the church are great spots to stop for photos, and the S-curve on the lakeside road is an especially popular photo spot. At the eastern end of the lake is the Brünig Pass. The scenic train (part of the GoldenPass Line) traveling between Lucerne and Interlaken runs along the lake, crosses the pass, and stops at the station there. Taking an overhead shot of the entire lake from the viewing platform by the pass while waiting for a train to enter the frame makes for a classic Swiss landscape photo.

The last boat from Interlaken East Station to Lake Brienz was at 15:07, and when we went there, the boat had just left. The staff taught us to take the bus to Brienz, and then catch the boat at 16:40, and take the boat from Brienz back to Interlaken. We bought a second-class Swiss pass, which allows free boat rides. There are not many seats in the second-class cabin, but there are more open-air seats. If you are afraid of the cold, you can get on the boat earlier. I sat in the restaurant at first and thought I had to consume, but after sitting for a while, I realized that there was no mandatory requirement.

I came to the beautiful Longjiang Lake in early April. The lake is not big, but the scenery is very beautiful. [Scenery] It was the dry season when I came, and the water in the lake receded a lot, but the lake water was still green. It must be more beautiful in summer. [Fun] This is a paradise for fishing, and you can also hike and ride a bicycle.

Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe is one of Switzerland’s most spectacular mountain destinations, offering an unforgettable experience high in the Swiss Alps. Surrounded by magnificent snow-covered peaks, vast glaciers, and breathtaking alpine scenery, the journey to the summit is an adventure itself. The panoramic views from the top are truly mesmerizing, especially on a clear day when the mountains seem to stretch endlessly into the horizon. Walking through the snowy landscape feels like entering a winter wonderland. The impressive Aletsch Glacier adds even more beauty to the experience. Jungfraujoch is a must-visit destination for travelers who love mountains, snow, photography, and extraordinary natural landscapes.

The experience was great. The little car went up and down, and when you got to the top, it was snowing heavily. It looked really cool. The prices at the cafe in the attraction were also reasonable. It was so peaceful to have a cup of coffee while watching the snow fall.

Looking down from the sky with a paraglider, the green grass of Holheimat looks like a piece of emerald, inlaid in the center of Interlaken. Be sure to sit on the benches in the green space. There are rows of benches on the side of the Holheimat green space close to Herweg Street. Sitting leisurely on the chair, looking far away, the Jungfrau is surrounded by clouds and mist under the blue sky and white clouds, appearing and disappearing from time to time, beautiful and spectacular; looking closely, the sky is full of umbrellas, and tourists who are sightseeing by paragliders scream and land in the middle of the grass, returning home in high spirits. Be sure to take a walk around the green space. The west side of the green space is a tree-lined corridor, the east side is Interlaken Castle and Japanese manor, and the north and south sides are luxurious hotels, elegant houses and various shops. Take a walk around, you can appreciate the beautiful scenery and experience the local customs more deeply.
