Naturpark Diemtigtal

Diemtigtal Nature Park

The Diemtigtal Nature Park is the perfect place for families and those seeking recreation. Charming mountain lakes, dense forests and fields of flowers let visitors experience the sweetness of doing nothing. Action-packed activities, however, can also be found here.

Enjoy nature and immerse yourself in the olden days

The Niesen, Harder, Brienzer Rothorn or Niederhorn are among the destinations where you can breathe in fresh mountain air and enjoy the views across the Lake Thun or Brienz. The Ballenberg allows visitors to travel back in time. The open-air museum portrays how our ancestors lived 100 years ago. Customs and culture are part of Interlaken’s everyday life. Alpine cheese, for example, is made by hand and Brienz has a long-standing tradition in wood processing. To this day, the picturesque village is still home to a school for woodcarving and violin-making.

Thunersee mit Niesen im Hintergrund

Niesen

Almost like in Egypt: The Niesen at Lake Thun is shaped like a pyramid. It is a 30-minute ride by funicular from the valley station in Mülenen to the summit.
