Thunersee and Brienzersee: The Lakes of Interlaken

In order to visit Brienzersee and Thunersee, Sara relied on the buses that are continually circling around Interlaken.  Luckily, the hostel (A) was very close to Interlaken West, one of the main terminals in the town.  Our hostel provided us with free bus passes, which made for an easy trip to see both lakes.  We started out with Thunersee (B), made our way back to Interlaken Ost (east, C) and walked to Brienzersee from there (D).

A zoomed out view, to show our route with a better feel for where the lakes actually are.

I could have stayed here for days.

We took the bus back to the other side of the city, picked up some bread and cheese, and walked along the river's edge towards the lake.

It's like the path along the Charles.  Minus the people.  And the city.  And the noise.

Jungfrau is one of the nearby peaks.

This house is right on the water.  I can't even imagine waking up to this every day.
