Interlaken

Between two lakes

Interlaken is a resort town in central Switzerland, situated on a narrow strip of land between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz—hence the name, meaning "between lakes." It serves as a base for exploring the Swiss Alps, particularly the Jungfrau region: We took the train from Interlaken up to Grindelwald.
