As I mentioned earlier, in the post about Grindelwald, Switzerland is one of the most beautiful countries in Europe. In this post I will write about the rest of the trip, this time at "Interlaken" - between the lakes. This is actually a follow-up post to the post about Grindelwald, and if you haven't read it yet - it's recommended.
The reason the trip is separated is due to the fact that in order to reach some of the destinations, you have to go through the Interlaken train station anyway. Therefore, it seemed more logical it, and sleep at 2 different places.
First, you have to take the train to the town of "Kandersteg", from there you have to walk to the cable car.
After going up the mountain by cable car, there is a special "roller coaster" attraction to the left, which can only be controlled by a brake. A recommended experience.
After arriving at the lake, just sit and enjoy the view. In addition, there is also a restaurant by the lake.
After getting off the train, there is a short walk to the view point, where there is also a restaurant.
(You should verify that a cruise is available & cruise hours before, if you plan to sail)
Entrance is paid.
There are 2 points to the canyon - eastern and western. Each of them has a train station. So first you arrive at the western station, pay and enter, when finishing the route on the east side, there is a train station.
There is a small walk in each side from the train station to the route itself.

Oeschinen Lake
One of the most beautiful places I've ever been at. If there is one destination I would not give up on this trip - it is this lake. It is a beautiful lake, surrounded by mountains.First, you have to take the train to the town of "Kandersteg", from there you have to walk to the cable car.
The road to the cable car
After going up the mountain by cable car, there is a special "roller coaster" attraction to the left, which can only be controlled by a brake. A recommended experience.
Roller Coaster
After we finished with the roller coaster, we started on the route to the lake. It should be noted that this is a descent, which of course we will have to climb later.
Road to the lake
After arriving at the lake, just sit and enjoy the view. In addition, there is also a restaurant by the lake.
Harder Kulm
A beautiful observation point, in Interlaken. Our accommodation in Interlaken was close, and we could reach this station on foot. At this station there is a kind of special train, which goes up the slope of the mountain.After getting off the train, there is a short walk to the view point, where there is also a restaurant.
Lake Brienz Cruise
We went on a cruise on Lake Brienz, outside the train station in Interlaken (Interlaken OST),(You should verify that a cruise is available & cruise hours before, if you plan to sail)
Aare Gorge (Aareschlucht)
A nice route, of walking in a beautiful canyon, above the Aare River.Entrance is paid.
There are 2 points to the canyon - eastern and western. Each of them has a train station. So first you arrive at the western station, pay and enter, when finishing the route on the east side, there is a train station.
