The Aarequai and Schadau Castle
The Aarequai is the main promenade in Thun. The beautiful path along the Aare and Lake Thun offers views of Schadau Castle. The enchanting 19th century castle resembles a fairytale palace.

The Beatus Caves
High above Lake Thun lie the St. Beatus stalactite caves. Inside the mountain you can experience the world of stalactite formations in halls, grottos and gorges. A fantastic experience!

The Sigriswil panorama bridge
At around 340 metres, the Sigriswil suspension bridge spans the Gummischlucht. You should be a little bit free from giddiness when crossing the bridge. You will be rewarded with a magnificent view of Lake Thun, the Niesen and the Stockhorn.

Our special tip: City tour "Uncanny Thun"
For a slightly different approach to the history of Thun, take a guided tour with a night watchman. He takes you on a journey through the centuries. He will reveal many of Thun's eerie secrets, which will give you goose bumps - especially as these are real historical events.
