What seems like a magical grotto is actually an extensive cave system, around 14 kilometers of which have been explored today. You can easily visit and marvel at the cave along a kilometer of illuminated path. The tour leads through huge stalactite formations, wide halls and gorges.

According to legend, a fire-breathing dragon lived here in the Middle Ages. Saint Beatus approached him with the cross and called on the Holy Trinity, whereupon the dragon threw itself with a roar into Lake Thun and drowned. Saint Beatus is said to have lived here in the cave until his death. Today, the grave of Saint Beatus and a replica of his cell can be viewed at the cave entrance. Part of the Way of St. James runs below the caves.

View of Lake Thun and Niesen from Weissenau Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The Weissenau ruins are the largest and best preserved castle ruins in the Bernese Oberland. It was once built as an imperial castle to control the movement of goods across the Alpine passes. In the 14th century the castle was sold to the Interlaken monastery. Around 200 years later, the monastery was secularized and, along with the castle, became the property of the State of Bern. He had no use from the castle and let it fall into disrepair. It was not until the 1980s that the ruin was placed under a preservation order and accordingly preserved in its former condition. A stroll through the impressive ruin only gives an idea of the size of the former building.
