Beautiful Swiss Lakes: Thunersee boat trip
Friday, April 23rd, 2010
Our day trip on the Thunersee aboard the Bluemlisalp paddle boat with a quick stop in Interlaken. This steam paddle wheel boat was originally built in 1905 and restored in recent years to its old glory. It’s really beautiful inside as well with an old-fashioned looking restaurant, bar, lots of deck seating and of course the old engine which you can watch. Really much more fun to go across the lake on this ship rather than one of the new, modern boats.

Members of the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (and their families) assemble in July to share what they have and what they know. The event concludes with a parade of canoes, called the Paddle-by. Listen closely and you’ll hear about the canoes and their builders. Some of the boats are very old, and some were built by the paddler. Some are all-wood, some are wood and canvas, and some are birch bark.
