This portrait of Lake Thun will be treasured by those who live in the scenic splendours of the lake and by those who just dream of doing so. The photography and often poetic text will delight steamship enthusiasts, hikers, holiday-makers and fishermen. Like the yodelling chants of the herdsmen calling in their cows, Alexander Schwab puts together all the tales from around the lake about the Niesen and the Niederhorn, how Beatus defeated the dragon and the mythology about the Foehn. He covers bunkers and caverns, the vanity of the swans, the beauty of the wild flowers, the mayflies and the snowflakes, the lavish splendour and hidden charms.
