Interlaken at its finest

I would say that it was one of my best holidays I’ve ever had. Waking up with an impressive mountain sceneries and lakes, walking down to the crowded yet peaceful streets, and sipping a hot chocolate with a cold breeze and turquoise water are some of the reasons why I want to go back there. #interlaken #switzerland #solotravel

Interlaken

#fallingforfall Interlaken is one of my most favourite places that I have visited. The scenery there is so spectacular with snowy alps, Lake and town. As I was there during the fall season, the weather there made it even more enjoyable. Another memorable aspect of this trip was that I travelled there alone which I never thought I could did it. Finally, it was here that I got to try out pumpkin soup. It was so nice even though I didn't like to eat pumpkin on its own. Interlaken is a Swiss town and municipality in the Interlaken-Oberhasli administrative district in the canton of Bern. It is well known for the Swiss alps and lakes.

Beautiful train ride from to Interlaken

Interlaken is a traditional resort town in the mountainous Bernese Oberland region of central Switzerland.

Trains to the Jungfrau region in the direction of Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen with connections to the railways to Mürren and from there to the Schilthorn as well as via the Kleine Scheidegg to the Jungfraujoch depart from the Interlaken Ost railway station.

#tripaway St Beautus hidden treasure Beautiful caves in breathtaking scenery The cave system is very impressive and beautiful. There are plenty of hand rails but good non slip shoes should be worn. It can get cold inside but we were comfortable with a light top and jeans. The walk down to the bus stop was very steep but again just take your time and use the hand rails. There are plenty of seats to sit on along the way. We enjoyed our trip to the Caves and all slept very well that evening. #tripaway
