The most interesting part of the Berner Oberland region is the area around Lake Thun. On the lake's northern end lies the town of Thun, which boasts an interesting castle.
Another excellent castle is Schloss Oberhofen, which was built in the 13th century and once held by the Habsburgs. The castle houses an interesting collection of grand furniture, portraits and weapons, as well as a Turkish smoking room. It is surrounded by beautiful 19th-century gardens.
Not far southeast of Thun is the town of Hilterfingen, where you can visit Schloss Hunegg. It was built in the 1860's and only 40 years later it was completely renovated. The castle is a mix of neo-Renaissance and art nouveau styles.
Boat trips to all three castles are available in Thun.
