Lake Brienz (Brienzersee) is a lake in Bern canton, Switzerland measuring 14 km long and 3 km wide. It is the first lake on the River Aare, just before Lake Thun. Covering 29.8 sq km, Lake Brienz has a catchment area of 1,127 sq km. It is located 564 m above sea level, and has a maximum depth of 260 m.

Lake Brienz is surrounded by majestic peaks, with the Alps on the southern side of the lake. Compared to Lake Thun, Lake Brienz is less developed. So you will find fewer watersports facilities here. There are however a number of places where you can visit by bicycle or by boat.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
