July 14, 2024,🇨🇭 Bonstettenpark - Thun"25/66"🌤️🚶

Today we took the bus (line 1) from Thun train station towards Gwatt. We got off at the Bonstettenpark station and started our little hike. This mainly leads along the lake shore, past the Thunersee stage and via Schadaupark, Scherzligkirche back to the train station. The whole route is suitable for strollers and wheelchairs.
