castle on a little eminence jutting out into the lake, for 300 years the property
of the family Von Erlach, thence straight across the lake at its
widest point 2 1/4 miles, to Oberhofen, where from the centre of the town
rises the turreted old castle of ^Count^ Pourtalis and the Hospital founded by him.
Each bank of the lake is bordered with hights uniformly several thousand
feet high, verdant, and inhabited in many places where a foot hold
could be obtained- Thence along the right bank to the hansome
modern Chateau of “Hunegg” the property of M de Parpart near
the pleasant little village of Hilterfingen, then into the river “Aare”
clear but not deep, bordered with pictu-

short distance to the pier at Scherzligen,
the Railway terminus for the beautiful
little city of Thun, closeby, upon the
rolling land and sidehill.
