“Historic Hotel Steinbock, while not lavish, is a perfectly adequate and affordable alternative to staying in expensive Interlaken. I found the location, close to the Wilderswil train station and set by a small river, particularly charming, even with the occasional peal of church bells. For a brief stay focused on exploring the region, it offers a comfortable, no-frills base with a surprisingly good breakfast.”

sliced fruittrain travel

the breakfast had sliced fruit, a 13-day travel exclusive, and the cantaloupe was sweet. the railway station was close, and train travel to interlaken was complimentary .

the church bells ring every 15 minutes, and these sometimes go off for around 8 minutes at night.
