Description
Today we will enjoy a promising stage, almost 4 kilometers of it by ship on Lake Thun from Spiez to Merligen. When we leave Amsoldingen, new, impressive scenes will appear step by step, one of the first is the Strättligturm on the hill of the same name between Gwattegg and the crossing of the Kander. A famous church awaits us in Einigen, the old walls are from the 7th-8th centuries. After the Spiezmoos, we climb the panorama path up to the Spiezberg, where a wonderful view from the Spiez Bay to the Blümlisalp range awaits us. We descend through a vineyard to the castle at the port of Soiez. Here we can process the first impressions during a rest. Another delicacy is the short ferry crossing from Spiez to Merligen on the opposite bank. Here, too, we have beautiful views, for example back to the Bay of Spiez and the Niesen. On the other bank, the hike continues on the steep flanks of the Beatenberg. We cross the Beatenberg Railway and come to “Widmannsplatz”, where a viewing platform invites you to rest. We continue up to the “Sankt Beatus Höhlen”, where St. Beatus once lived. The impressive hatch stairs carved into the rock then take you back down to Lake Thun. There we reach the lake at its upper end, where we finally reach the Aare on a footbridge along the Sundlauenen Delta at the Weissenau ruins. This is how we reach Unterseen, the first part of Interlaken.
