Switzerland - Thun

Switzerland - Thun
Thun is a medieval city, located on the west end of Lake Thun. Already as early as 2.500 BC a first settlement arose on today's site of the city. The castle - towering above the old town - was built by the Dukes of Zähringen. It has a donjon (PiP 1), dating back between 1180 and 1190. One can enjoy wonderful views over the city (PiP 2) and the mighty mountains of the Bernese Highlands, with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau in the far distance.

Five bridges connect the modern shopping area of Thun with the medieval city center. By far the most interesting is the wooden covered bridge Untere Schleuse (main picture), built in 1724. The flood gates regulate the water flow of the River Aare (PiP3).

A splendid series Jaap................that covered bridge with it's flower baskets and displays is really lovely! The town behind it looks beautiful, especially with the majestic tower which dominates the scene. I especially like the movement of the water coming through the flood gates..........and the two surfers enjoying themselves!

Three more cracking shots in the PiPs too..................great work my friend.

Bien le bonjour Jaap.
Encore et toujours merci pour le partage de vos voyages par ces splendides clichés.

Bonne continuation.
