Experiences in Lake Thun – Hohgant Nature Park

The early hours offer the best opportunity to observe wildlife in its natural habitat.

Feed the ducks on the shores of Lake Thun or read and rest on a bench in the sun. Or take a walk along the paths leading through the woods, along the avenue and across the meadows that are so inviting to sunbathers in the summer (although there is no direct access to the water).

Discover the St. Beatus Caves above Lake Thun: Stalactite grottoes, waterfalls and the exciting dragon saga await you. In the cave museum you will learn everything about the hidden world inside the mountain.

Schadau Castle was built between 1846 and 1854 for the Neuchâtel banker Denis Alfred de Rougemont. The location of the castle, on the southern banks of Lake Thun where the River Aare flows out of the lake, and with its views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, is almost as attractive as the architecture itself.

Swimming and snorkelling among ducks and water-lilies in clean water in a nature reserve.

Bonstetten Park serves throughout the year as a valuable public recreational area right on the lakeside: BBQ sites, open grassy areas and a playground make the park a popular destination for families as well.

The legend of St. Beatus is told in stages at the various stations. Individual play and adventure areas are dotted along the trail.

The Planet Trail Ringgenberg-Goldswil describes our relationship to the solar system in easily understandable language.

River rafting on the Aare between Thun and Bern is now possible by canoe or inflatable boat, with expert guides coaching you through fast and slow currents.
