St Beatus Caves

TIME : 2016/2/19 0:52:59

Sculpted over millennia, the St Beatus Caves are great for a wander through caverns of dramatically lit stalagmites, stalactites and underground lakes. Lore has it that in the 6th century they sheltered St Beatus, monk, hermit and first apostle of Switzerland, who apparently did battle with a dragon here. They are a 1½-hour walk or a short boat ride from Interlaken.
