Orientation: The Alps area here is referred to as the Jungfrau region. The starting point recommended to tourists to explore Jungfrau is the town of Interlaken, so-called because it is situated between two lakes. Thunsee, or Lake Thun, is to the west, and Brienzsee, or Lake Brienz, is to the east. At the ends of these lakes are the towns of Thun and Brienz, respectively.
To the south of Interlaken, the road branches off into two valleys. The narrower Lauterbrunnen valley, to the southwest, starts with the village of Lauterbrunnen and ends with the village of Stechelberg. The wider Grindelwald valley, to the southeast, meanders and ends at the village of Grindelwald and is much more popular.
