For a day trip with a difference you can spend a few hours exploring St. Beatus Caves which were once inhabited by a mythical dragon. Legend has it that St. Beat, a 6th century monk, was hunting the dragon when it took shelter in this remarkable cave system deep within the mountains surrounding Interlaken. Today everyone can admire the dragon’s lair as you join a guided tour (or self-guided tour) through a kilometer of caves containing spectacular rock formations, stalactites and stalagmites, many little tunnels and vast chambers. After touring the cave you can visit the Cave Museum and have a meal at the restaurant.
