In a nutshell
Stunningly scenic mountain life with all season weather combined with surprisingly good transport connections, populated by a generally conservative Swiss farming community.
I almost drowned in Spiez, while I was a child and we made an excursion with our school-class. When the ship landed I somehow slipped into the water, my teacher had to pull me out and the excursion was over for the whole class. Still today I feel guilty that I had spoiled a great excursion for the whole class, because I and my teacher had been totally wet and had to go home to get dry and change clothes.
It is so many years ago and still I have a bad feeling when I am in Spiez.

This McClean toilet at the Spiez train station charges women 2CHF to use their 'service.'
Men they charge 1CHF. That alone pisses me off!
Unique Suggestions: Dribble on the seat and leave toilet paper on the floor...(a few suggestions; you can probably come up with plenty more ideas yourself)
Fun Alternatives: Go for free on the train!

Lake Thun offers a large variety of water sports. The bay of Spiez is very well known for their sailing school.
Due to the nearby mountains the wind conditions are usually excellent.
Equipment: You can rent everything you need.
