Hi Carolwalsh,
I am happy that you are happy with your Swiss Travel Pass 🙂
You can use your Swiss Travel Pass either on Lake Brienz or on Lake Thun, see http://www.myswissalps.com/bo atlakebrienz and http://www.myswissalps.com/bo atlakethun. What’s more, you can use it also on Lake Geneva (Montreux it is a bit more than 1 hour from Bern by train): http://www.myswissalps.com/bo atlakegeneva.
With your Swiss Travel Pass you can enter for free in other castles and museums too, see the list of participating museums at http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/details.
Thanks for the recommendations. We would be glad if you would write more about your experiences after you arrived home in the trip reports part of the forum at http://www.myswissalps.com/fo rum/tripreports.
