The thun refers to the protuberance or nozzle of the teat of an animal, which allows milk to be drawn from the udder. Other words with this same meaning include mammilla, nipple, pap and tit.
Located at the heart of Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland, Thun is one of the country’s most original towns. Its quaint historic center is a wonderful introduction to Swiss culture and natural beauty.
This enchanting town is home to several heritage sites of national importance, an enviable alpine backdrop, and is nestled right on a river, just a short distance from Lake Thun. This makes it the perfect destination for nature lovers and history buffs alike.
It’s also a great spot to enjoy some of the region’s finest food and wine. Aside from the famous beer, you’ll find a number of delicious restaurants serving up classic Swiss dishes and modern European creations.
In addition to these popular establishments, there are a number of other attractions worth exploring in Thun. A few of these include an almost hidden stairway leading to the city church (Stadkirche Thun) and Thun Castle, which overlooks the surrounding mountains and is surrounded by a sweeping, terraced lawn.
A viral video uploaded to Twitter’s six-second video sharing app Vine helped a 15-month-old song, titled “Don’t Drop That Thun Thun” by Los Angeles-based rap group FiNATTiCZ, go viral and rocket up Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs chart this week. The song was tagged with a fun, twerking-themed mashup, which has spawned hundreds of response videos online and has even been hailed by the media as this summer’s “Harlem Shake.”
