Lake Thun (Thunersee) is an Alpine lake in the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland named after the city of Thun, on its northern shore.
The lake was created after the last glacial period. After the 10th century, it split from Lake Brienz, before which the two lakes were combined, as Wendelsee. The culminating point of the lake's drainage basin is the Finsteraarhorn at 4,274 metres above sea level.
Lake Thun's approximate 2,500 km² catchment area frequently causes local flooding after heavy rainfalls. This occurs because the river Aare, which drains Lake Thun, has only limited capacity to handle the excess runoff. The lake is fed by water from Lake Brienz to the southeast, which is 6 metres higher than Lake Thun, and various streams in the Oberland, including the Kander.
Popular excursion peaks around Lake Thun are the pyramid-shaped Niesen, the Stockhorn and the Niederhorn. There, visitors can expect a unique view of the lake and the Alps. At the eastern end of the lake lies the city of Interlaken, starting point for popular excursions into the Jungfrau region and the eastern Bernese Oberland.
