Lake Thun Interlaken, one of the most important lakes in Switzerland, is located near the Swiss Alps in the northern side of the city.
Its name dates back to the northern city of Thun, and the lake stretches for more than 17.5 km with a width of 3.5 km, occupying an area of over forty-eight square kilometers with a depth of 217 meters.
It is fed by the Arr River through Lake Brienz, of which Lake Thun was part of it until the last Ice Age.
