THUN, A CITY BY THE LAKE
Thun is only a 30 minute train ride from the capitol, Bern, such a quick ride. I had never visited this city before, and wandered through the streets with no particular plan. I did also find my way up the castle, now a museum. I loved browsing through all the exhibits, before heading back to the station to catch the train home again before the rain started.
I definitely recommend a visit if you’re in the area!
MAKE SURE to see the last image in this gallery, you’ll see the AMAZING view of the mountains - from the train station!
