Wonderful are the views along the way over the deep blue eye of Oberstocken Lake to the Simmental and Saanenland mountains.

The Stockhorn, Thun's local mountain, is equally frequented by locals and tourists. There are many reasons for this: the overwhelming panoramic view stretches from the Moléson over the Jura to the Glärnisch and along the chain of Bernese ice giants back to Mont Blanc. Equally unique is the pre-alpine plant diversity.
