Where nature is most beautiful, this is where you can relax. Enjoy the panorama behind the lake, in summer on the meadow, or throughout the whole year. It is no wonder that, in a place like this, not only a castle but an entire city is built.
The Schadau Park is a local recreation area, designed as an English garden. Near the lake by the Aare you can enjoy the most beautiful panorama of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.
In our famous Schadau-park, you will find more than 150 different trees. Some of them are more than 200 years old. There are interactive information at every tree and of course there is also a map for your tour in our English garden.
Only a few steps away from the castle, you will find the «Thun Panorama» with the oldest circular painting of the world by the artist Marquart Wocher, 38 metres in length.
Within a 2-minutes’ walking distance you will find the solar ship on the banks of the Aare. A unique pleasure for up to 12 guests. Information on timetables and exclusive bookings can be found at:

For the little ones, the mini steam train runs directly through the park on selected days.
