As routine, we woke up early, had breakfast and had to decide what to do. We had a full day in the Thun area and wanted to explore. Thank goodness the weather was a lot better than yesterday, so after we looked at a map of the area we decided to journey up to the closest, but highest mountains......and came up with the area around the town of Lenk, Switzerland. Af
ter approximately a one hour drive we arrived in Lenk, which on our map was basically a dead end before the impassible Alps. In Lenk we found the Betelberg Cable Car system. We took the cable car up to the very top, approximately 1900 meters (6000 feet). Once at the top we explored the area and decided to hik
e down, following the designated walking paths. The views were outstanding. Too much to even describe. At the halfway point, as the hike down was getting rather steep, we hopped on the cable car and rode the rest of the way down. We explored the town of Lenk a bit and were now on our way. As we drove back to Thun we stopped occasionally to take a few more photos. Once back in Thun, we walked around a bit, had dinner and went to bed.
