CAVES OF ST. BEATUS AT THE LAKE OF THUN, SWITZERLAND
The St. Beatus Caves (Caves of Saint Beatus, or, in German, St. Beatus-Höhlen) are an extensive cave network located in the Switzerland near the village of Beatenberg, above Lake Thun. Saint Beatus of Lungern took up hermitage near the entrance of the cave system, probably in the ninth century. Legend holds that Beatus fought and defeated a dragon who lived in the caves. Saint Beatus' grave is located between the monastery and the cave entrance.
