Why go
Lake Thun (Thunersee) is a lake in the Bernese Oberland, in the canton of Bern; this record is the lake, not the boats on it, the railway along its shore or the towns around it. Interlaken Tourism's Lake Thun page names the Niesen and the Stockhorn range among the mountains around the lake and lists the town of Thun and villages around it, among them Spiez, Oberhofen, Hilterfingen, Merligen, Gunten and Leissigen, as well as castles on the lake. Interlaken lies on the alluvial plain between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, per the same tourism board. Wikidata classifies the lake as an area that belongs to no municipality. The record's point is in the water: it is not a pier, beach or shore access point, and it is not a place to navigate to.
