What else ...
you reach our place with local transport every hour - in 15min you reach thun again. a beautiful little town at a pretty lake- there you will get, what you re missing, when you filled up with the sound of nature.
we do have bicyles to rent and of course there are paths to hike as far as you like..
maria is working in bern twice a week, me 4times in thun, so there is nearly always someone home, since pema-lou is a school girl..
