Höhematte
Höhematte is the open meadow at the heart of Interlaken, a stretch of protected green space between the town's two halves that's kept deliberately undeveloped, giving an unobstructed view straight up toward the Jungfrau massif from the middle of town. It's used for paragliding landings (Interlaken is a major paragliding hub, and colorful canopies drift down into the park regularly on clear days), festivals, and simple picnicking.
It's less a sight to tick off than the town's functional green lung and a good spot to get oriented — many visitors end up passing through it multiple times just walking between the two stations or the main street.
