Embark on a magical journey to the legendary St. Beatus Caves, nestled in the cliffs above Lake Thun. After hotel pick-up in the Interlaken area (within 10 km), travel by private minibus to the foot of the Niederhorn range. From here, take a short scenic walk up (slightly steep 5-10 minutes walk) the forested path alongside cascading waterfalls and panoramic lake views.
You will be led into the mysterious underground world of the St. Beatus Höhlen—a network of illuminated chambers, limestone formations, and rushing subterranean streams. Hear stories of the hermit monk Beatus who, according to legend, drove a dragon from these caves. After the tour, enjoy time on the panoramic restaurant terrace, or explore the mythical-themed museum on-site.
