Interlaken OST to Brienz. The actual ride took about 75 minutes. Shot on 15th September 2007 (Saturday). Lake Brienz (German: Brienzersee) is a lake just north of the Alps, in the Canton of Berne in Switzerland. The lake took its name from the village Brienz on its northern shore. Interlaken and the villages Matten and Unterseen lie to the south west of the lake. The shores are steep, and there is almost no shallow water in the entire lake. The lake lies in a deep hollow between the village of Brienz on the east and, on the west, Bönigen, close to Interlaken. Its length is about 9 miles, its width 1½ miles, and its maximum depth 856 feet, while its area is 11½ square miles, and the surface is 564 metres (1,850 ft) above the sea-level. On the south shore are the Giessbach Falls and the hamlet of Iseltwald. On the north shore are a few small villages. Its chief affluent is the Lütschine (flowing from the valleys of Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen). There have been passenger ships on the lake since 1839. The ships are operated by BLS Lötschbergbahn, the local railway company. There are five passenger ships on the lake. Interlaken Ost (East) is the main station in the town of Interlaken in the Swiss canton of Bern. It is bigger than the other station in Interlaken (Interlaken West) and is the terminus of various train services. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en...
