Canton of Bern
The canton of Bern or Berne is one of the 26 cantons forming the Swiss Confederation. It is composed of ten districts and its capital city is Bern. The bear is the heraldic symbol of the canton, displayed on a red-yellow background. Bern is the second-largest canton by both surface area and population. Located in west-central Switzerland, it is surrounded by eleven cantons.

Wilderswil
Wilderswil is a village and municipality in the Interlaken-Oberhasli administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland. It belongs to the Small Agglomeration Interlaken with 23,300 inhabitants (2014).

Gündlischwand / Lütschental
Gündlischwand / Lütschental are villages and municipalities in the Interlaken-Oberhasli administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland. Besides the village of Gündlischwand, the municipality also includes the hamlet of Zweilütschinen.

Zweilütschinen railway station
It (German: Bahnhof Zweilütschinen) is a railway station in the municipality of Gündlischwand in the Swiss canton of Bern. The station is on the Berner Oberland Bahn, whose trains operate services to Interlaken Ost, Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen. It takes its name from the hamlet of Zweilütschinen, which itself is named after the nearby confluence of the White and the Black branches of the Lütschine river.

Burglauenen
Burglauenen (896 m above sea level) is a village in the Bernese Oberland (Switzerland) and belongs to the municipality of Grindelwald. Burglauenen is five kilometers northwest of the center of Grindelwald on the road and railway line from Grindelwald to Interlaken.

Därligen / Leissigen
They are municipalities in the Interlaken-Oberhasli administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.

Lake Thun (German: Thunersee)
It is an Alpine lake in the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland named after the city of Thun, on its northern shore. At 48.3 km2 (18.6 sq mi) in surface area, it is the largest Swiss lake entirely within a single canton. The lake was created after the last glacial period. After the 10th century, it split from Lake Brienz, before which the two lakes were combined, as Wendelsee ("Lake Wendel"). The culminating point of the lake's drainage basin is the Finsteraarhorn at 4,274 metres (14,022 ft) above sea level. Lake Thun's approximate 2,500 square kilometres (970 sq mi) catchment area frequently causes local flooding after heavy rainfalls. This occurs because the river Aare (German: Aare), which drains Lake Thun, has only limited capacity to handle the excess runoff. The lake is fed by water from Lake Brienz to the southeast, which is 6 metres (20 ft) higher than Lake Thun, and various streams in the Oberland, including the Kander.

Faulensee
It is a village on Lake Thun in the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland. It belongs to the political municipality of Spiez in the canton of Bern.

Spiez
It is a town and municipality on the shore of Lake Thun in the Bernese Oberland region of the Swiss canton of Bern. It is part of the Frutigen-Niedersimmental administrative district. Besides the town of Spiez, the municipality also includes the settlements of Einigen, Hondrich, Faulensee, and Spiezwiler. The official language of Spiez is (the Swiss variety of Standard) German, but the main spoken language is the local variant of the Alemannic Swiss German dialect.

LUZERN 4K Switzerland 🇨🇭 Lucerne Chapel Bridge Löwendenkmal Musegg Wall - Virtual City Walking Tour

Lucerne ranks amongst the world's prettiest cities and is rich in sights and attractions. Contributing to Lucerne's cityscape alongside the world-famous Chapel Bridge and Water Tower are the Musegg Wall, the Jesuit Church, the Spreuer Bridge, the Lion Monument, the KKL culture and convention centre and a host of other sites of interest. Lucerne is best discovered on foot and you can follow my virtual walking tour to visit all city attractions.

1. Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke)
The world-famous timber bridge Lucerne’s most photographed destination, it being held in high esteem by visitors and residents in equal measure. Together with the Water Tower, the bridge forms a landmark in the townscape like no other attraction.

2. Church of St. Leodegar – Lucerne’s parish church
Considered the most important example of church building from the Renaissance period in Switzerland, the Church of St. Leodegar – also known as the Hofkirche – is the parish church of Lucerne. The history of this impressive building is long and eventful.
Around 735/736, Southern Alemanni noblemen founded a small monastery on the site now occupied by the church precincts. Around 1135, the self-governing monastery became a dependent priory of Murbach in Alsace. Changing fortunes obliged Murbach Abbey in 1291 to sell the priory in Lucerne and all its properties to the Habsburgs. After Lucerne joined the Old Confederacy in 1332, the town of Lucerne began appropriating the rights of the Habsburgs – including those over the monastery – in a process that continued until 1433. The Benedictine monastery became a collegiate church in 1455/56. Since then, the college of canons (non-monastic community of clergy) has recited the Divine Office every morning and evening.
The Church of St. Leodegar is the sacred centre of the St. Leodegar and St. Maurice college of canons. The church was destroyed by fire in 1633, leaving only the two towers with their Romanesque elements. The interior of the edifice features a number of different influences. The high altar is fashioned from black Unterwalden marble.
The imposing organ was built in 1640 and extended in 1862, before being modified, restored and enlarged between 1972 and 1977. The organ prospectus of 1640 records it as having the tallest (10.7 m) and heaviest (383 kg) pipe in the world at the time. Overall, the organ weighs an incredible 30 tonnes. The 7,374 pipes are distributed across 111 registers. The Echo division inaugurated in 2015 has witnessed the inclusion of some new pipes and, most importantly, the reintroduction into the organ of the best preserved pipes dating back more than 150 years. The Echo division is thus performing not only a musical task, but also fulfilling a mission in terms of preserving a valuable ancient monument in the most appropriate manner.

3. Lion Monument – a memorial exuding the portent of loss
Carved in stone, yet deceptively real. There he lies, the world-famous lion, his backstory and expressiveness at least as moving and powerful as the majestic animal itself.
Paris in turmoil. It is 10 August 1792 – truly a dark day for Switzerland, yet part of our history. On this day, some 1,000 Swiss Guards in Paris, seeking to protect the life of King Louis XVI, paid the ultimate price for their unconditional loyalty and untold bravery. What happened? On 10 August 1792, the revolutionaries stormed the residence defended by the Swiss, leading to the virtual annihilation of the Guard. The Lion Monument, a powerful memorial, pays homage to the selfless heroes of the Swiss Guard.
Then as now, the Lion Monument is a must-see, one reason being that the blood-soaked drama of Paris must never be forgotten. But another reason is that the ten-by-six-metre work hewn out of sandstone leaves a lasting impression. Or, as the American writer Mark Twain put it: «The Lion of Lucerne (is) the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world.»
