#278 Bench

Bench, Oeschinen Lake, Switzerland

About this stone

The bench overlooking this glacial lake in the Swiss Alps offers one of the most breathtaking views in the region. Situated near the village of Kandersteg, this serene spot invites visitors to sit back and take in the stunning turquoise waters surrounded by towering peaks and lush alpine meadows. The tranquil setting is perfect for hikers and nature lovers who seek peace while admiring the dramatic landscape. The area is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch, making it a must-visit destination for those exploring the country's natural beauty. Several benches line the route along the lake, and at one of them, a penguin stone awaits discovery among the boulders.
