The magic tower: Bernese legends at Thun Castle
What to expect
Storyteller Andreas Sommer, dressed in period costume, meets the group at the fountain and leads it around Thun Castle and then inside, up to the Knights’ Hall. At each stop he tells a legend from the Lake Thun area about reckless knights, stubborn lords of the castle, and enchanted treasure. The castle calls it the Bernese alternative to Halloween: cozy and often funny, never gory. It’s told in Bernese German and lasts about two hours.
Good to know
- Dress warmly: the Knights' Hall isn't heated, and the walk starts outside.
- Places are limited, so register on the castle's website.
