Interlaken (between the lakes) lies between lakes Brienz and Thun. It is a pleasant village of about 2500 inhab¬ itants, and ia a jiroaperous summer re¬ sort. It is surrounded by mountains which are covered half way up with evergreens and other trees, above which rise masses of great gray stones.
Between two of these and further anay, but looking very near, is the Jungfrau (maiden) covered with its eternal snow and rising to the heighth of between 13,000 and 14,000 feet, one of the highest mountains in Europe. The snow is of a dazzling whiteness, witb deep blue Bhadows.
