The small, relatively isolated village of Iseltwald, with a population of only a few hundred, is located in the Interlaken district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland, on the south bank of Lake Brienz in the Bernese Oberland. With quiet, serene, and rustic surroundings, Iseltwald is a much-loved destination for cyclists, backpackers, and couples and families who want to “get away from it all.” The village is situated on a spit of land that extends into the lake, so that nearly everywhere you look, crystal clear water meets your gaze. Excellent sailing, mountain climbing, sport fishing, and skiing are readily available from the Iseltwald budget hotels and cheap hostels you can book here at EasyToBook.com.
Getting around the lake area by ferry or bus is easy from your Iseltwald hotel. To the east, approximately 10 kilometers away, is Ballenburg, an open air museum that interprets the rural life of days gone by through a village of original century-old buildings, historical gardens, farm animals, and craft demonstrations. To the west along the lake, approximately 14 kilometers away, is Interlaken, where you can embark on a series of scenic train journeys that take you through the magnificent mountains, valleys, and glaciers of the Jungfraujoch region and back again to Interlaken.
