The harbour area of Spiez, taken from the train station. Poet Josef Viktor Widmann (1842–1911) wrote in his book _Spaziergänge in den Alpen_ (Strolls in the Alps) that “_the view from Spiez Station is one of the most beautiful in the world_”. I’d imagine that the foreground of this view was quite different at the turn of the twentieth century, but it’s still breathtaking.
