Oberhofen, Switzerland - A picturesque town in Bernese Oberland

Enjoy our walking tour in Oberhofen am Thunersee, a municipality in the canton of Bern.
Oberhofen Castle and the Wichterheer-Gut are listed as Swiss heritage site of national significance. The entire urbanized village of Oberhofen am Thunersee is part of the Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites.
Historically Oberhofen was primarily an agricultural community (mainly viticulture) until the late 19th century. Today it is a rather affluent residential community, privileged by geography. The hill slopes to the lake toward south-west, giving both much sunlight, and a spectacular view to the glacier covered high alpine peaks of the Bernese Alps across the lake.
The dominant feature of the village is the lakeside castle of Oberhofen, dating back to the Middle Ages, but constantly changed and updated throughout the ages. The castle today houses a division of the Historic Museum of Bern, and has a spectacular formal lakeside garden in the English style with many rare specimen trees.
The Wichterheer estate, lakeside to the south of the castle, houses the Museum für Uhren und Mechanische Musik (Museum of Timekeeping and Mechanical Music) as well as an exhibit of 20th century local art.
The video was filmed in November 2021

Foggy in the distance, extremely quite, looks like an abandoned town but full of some kind of peaceful souls enjoying the beauty. Our soul. Hug from Buenos Aires 🇨🇭🇦🇷 ( sorry my poor English)👍

Thanks for mentioning the Museum für Uhren und Mechanische Musik. I was unaware of it, and now I want to find more information about it. I visited a mechanical music museum in Rüdesheim several years ago and it was fascinating.

[@VirtualSwitzerland]

We didn’t have the chance to visit the museum because it’s open only from April to October. We have to go to Oberhofen again in spring😃
