After hiking around the lake, you have to try this exciting mountain coaster
Then go back to Kandersteg station take 230 bus to Blausee
The leagn of blausee:
Once upon a time, this little lake in the Kander Valley looked just like any other alpine lake. A maid lived close by and when she fell in love with a shepherd they started to row out onto the lake to find some alone time in the bright and romantic moonlit nights.One day the Shepherd fell off a cliff to his death. Night after night, the inconsolable maid rowed out to the middle of the lake to mourn her loss. One morning her parents found her daughter had drowned and the boat had sunk with her to the bottom of the lake.On that day the lake had mysteriously changed its colour to the intense deep blue shade of the eyes of the tragically enamored maid.
Today (August 1st) is Switzerland National Day, we celebrate with other friends, everyone drinking beer and celebrating together,how a special experiencefor me!

It is constructed of 5.5 tons of wood and is 12 metres (39 feet) high.It depicts a giant chair with a broken leg and stands across the street from the Palace of Nations, in Geneva.
