Events in August

No idea what to do today?


 

Here's a list of upcoming events for the Interlaken and Brienz region.

5th and the 26th – Schloss Interlaken: Middle Ages dinner with theatre performance. Not your everyday supper either: food is served on wooden boards, drinks in earthenware mugs and you only get a spoon. Bring your own knife if you want, but forks are not allowed! Sign up ahead of time at: http://www.mittelalteressen-interlaken.ch/termine.htm or at the Tell Spiel in Interlaken. The evening costs CHF 98.- per person, but it is certainly a dinner you will never forget!

6th – if you like to get up early, then here's the deal for you: the Wanderexpress to the Brienzer Rothorn. Leaving Brienz at 5 am, a perfect adventure for those who want to see the mountains waking up – call 033 952 22 22 for reservations (possible until 12:00 noon the day before). The trip will only be possible if the weather is good, so it's wise to ask when reserving.
