If you miss the direct train, you can also take the other trains running from Interlaken Ost to Zurich HB during these intervals.

The best way to explore Lake Brienz and Lake Thun is by taking a boat cruise. While it is possible to cruise both Lake Brienz and Lake Thun on the same day, this will leave you with limited time to explore the villages around the lakes.

The turquoise lake is fed by the glacier waters from the Aare River, the Lutschine River and Giessbach Falls. It’s unique colour is due to the tiny particles of sediments washed into the lake by the glacier melt. As these extremely fine glacier particles take a long time to sink in the clear lake water, they create a distinct turquoise colour.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEj93uoyub1QnmAxxiPsUmToTT6SX8R8bcPw9-_6CJTwR5mZQHstsSyDakZSW8lv5r0YSUEDlRdjvU_ZivNFvAe5tB-yjxDzB-NHrh_85hJkhD-GJn9xtWRX6H7LNcDR7g-nK73TByFfbu-KbVtutJ9Zgdyg36C3RZNW3o6EYejPOlfea7zT0PQAPUzEfe4\/s4032\/IMG_3102~photo.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"4032\" data-original-width=\"3024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEj93uoyub1QnmAxxiPsUmToTT6SX8R8bcPw9-_6CJTwR5mZQHstsSyDakZSW8lv5r0YSUEDlRdjvU_ZivNFvAe5tB-yjxDzB-NHrh_85hJkhD-GJn9xtWRX6H7LNcDR7g-nK73TByFfbu-KbVtutJ9Zgdyg36C3RZNW3o6EYejPOlfea7zT0PQAPUzEfe4\/w480-h640\/IMG_3102~photo.jpg\" width=\"480\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhrxz2Gzvm0Z98as17RgJQAfToDtGxrmpoa5UXLtS9AQBe8Gu5cHAIUnRJf1bUHO-qoUUYzJuM6J5z8pSq7pk4WA6CB7NgU2cKDlV7rYHNt_1EHjkVoqJOPJ44Mq4iYar8Vqyle_p-9hkDBbUjlNtAlXyEdJ9OKo3YQdpoUCQxMg4fmbOPa8jp7iyXI8JY\/s4032\/IMG_2850~photo.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"3024\" data-original-width=\"4032\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhrxz2Gzvm0Z98as17RgJQAfToDtGxrmpoa5UXLtS9AQBe8Gu5cHAIUnRJf1bUHO-qoUUYzJuM6J5z8pSq7pk4WA6CB7NgU2cKDlV7rYHNt_1EHjkVoqJOPJ44Mq4iYar8Vqyle_p-9hkDBbUjlNtAlXyEdJ9OKo3YQdpoUCQxMg4fmbOPa8jp7iyXI8JY\/w640-h480\/IMG_2850~photo.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;\"\u003EAs the boat quietly glide through the turquoise waters, we can feel the cool gentle breeze caressing our faces.
