I took this on May 28th at Switzerland's Harder Kulm! It's a great viewpoint at 1,321 m (4,334 ft) in the Berner Oberland. The Berner Oberland being one of the most picturesque parts of Switzerland. I only got to see a slice of it and I'm so glad I did :). One of those slices was at this top station. It's an easy funicular ride from Interlaken. I got there right before the fog engulfed everything!! Literally just a few minutes later this was all swallowed up by fog! But, though covered in atmosphere, I still got incredible mountain & lake views. Including views to the right side, as well, with even more mountains and a lovely valley! There is also Lake Thun on the right side but I wasn't able to see it - the fog already claimed the land! And, the lake you see here is Lake Brienz. I'd love to return someday and get more clear views. But, I can't complain, really. I loved the magic mood! The next day was my final one in Switzerland - I headed to the iconic Matterhorn!
Stunning Observation Deck!

8.2/10 Very Good! (174 reviews)
Very friendly saff but we needed to go different building for breakfast and all food was located in very narrow carridor instead of the dinning room. It was crowded and didn’t look hygienic. I am very sorry but this not what I expected from hotel in Switzerland. I choose that place based on photos ...

Great location and beds were super comfy. We weren’t able to get all the dishes put away as requested, but hopefully the host would understand.

Interlaken is a very touristy town. Didn't seem to have much variety regarding food options. We took a day trip to Lucerne which was nice and convenient. Everyone was very friendly.

It's a nice small town. Very convenient transportation. The bus and rail fare are usually included with hotel stay. One unpleasant experience was some restaurant waiters can be discriminated.
