The lake has a length of 14 kilometers, a width of 3 kilometers, a depth of 261 meters. The total area of the lake is 30 square kilometers. The rivers Are, Lucina and Gisbah flow into the lake.

The deep waters of the lake constantly change their color depending on the lighting and shimmer with gray, green and blue shades. In the middle of the lake is a small island with trees. This island used to be inhabited by monks who built a chapel on it.
On the shore of the lake is the ski resort Interlaken, which houses a museum with existing models of miniature trains.
