Actively experience the element of water by paddling and pedalling in stunning natural scenery
The Faulensee tourism office, situated right on the left bank of Lake Thun,
is the place to hire and try out a variety of water sports equipment. Take to the deep-blue waters of Lake Thun under your own steam or hire a motorboat that can be skippered without a licence and spend a couple of hours in the middle of the lake. Paddle your canoe over the glistening water or pedal your pedalo along the shoreline. Alternatively, why not chill out with your friends in the Sealander, the floating caravan trailer, enjoying a delicious cheese fondue or barbecued sausages? Would you rather relax in the warmth of the sun for a few hours? The beautifully maintained sunbathing lawn on the shore of the lake is the place to relax and unwind. Snacks and drinks are available in the tourism office’s little kiosk.

“My family and I were able to hire a motorboat at the lake that you can skipper without a licence. We enjoyed spending a few very relaxing hours in the middle of beautiful, deep-blue Lake Thun. It was simply delightful!”
