A Day in Interlaken and Beatushoehlen - Fri, Aug 3

We took the Cogwheel and train to Interlaken (1866 ft) then the local bus to the Saint Beatus Caves (2030 ft).   The location was beautiful over Lake Thun,

but the excursion through the caves, was disappointing although there were some beautiful drip stone formations and colors. The tour group was huge and the narration was mostly in German. 

We did not see any evidence of the dragon St. Beautus is reputed to have killed here around the 9th century.

Following the excursion, walked to the boat landing for a boat ride back to Interlaken. 

Interlaken was very touristy, but the old town, Underseen was quaint,

And at the central (Hohematte Park) park we enjoyed watching the parasailers land with the Jungfrau in the background.  Then we traveled by public transportation back to Wengen.  Dinner at the hotel
