Giessbach Falls
Giessbach, near Brienz, Switzerland
Giessbach Falls tumble down the wooded slope above Lake Brienz in a sequence of fourteen tiers. Paths around the historic hotel and nature park bring different parts of the cascade into view, including a dramatic passage behind falling water. It is a place to explore on foot at a measured pace, with the lake appearing between the trees. Combine the visit with a seasonal boat arrival or a meal at the hotel, checking the connections before setting out.
