View of the Reichenbach Falls

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is a lot to see on this stretch of road. On the one hand, you can see the Reichenbach Falls from afar, which consists of a total of seven waterfalls that plunge to the valley and give an impressive picture. The waterfall became famous primarily because author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had his master detective Sherlock Holmes fall here.

You can also see the route of the funicular here. This nostalgic train transports passengers from the outskirts of Meiringen directly to the viewpoint to the waterfall. If you have time and desire, this is an exciting change from cycling.

Reichenbachtal Valley

Highlight • Gorge

Although it is only uphill if you are coming from Meringen, the journey through the Reichenbach Valley is extremely entertaining and beautiful. This is due to the beautiful landscape and the varied highlights on the way. There is always something going on from the cozy refreshment stop to the hammer view. And if you notice on the way that you have planned too much, there is always a plan B: A Postbus travels through the Reichenbach Valley so that you can easily change from bike to bus in various places.

Gschwandtenmaad Alpine Meadow

Highlight • Natural

Actually so unspectacular, but still awesome: You just have to stop here and let the combination of green grass, clean river water and mountain panorama work for you. The peaks in front of you belong to the Wetterhorn and Wellhorns. An incredibly memorable place.

Unterbach Swiss Air Force Jet Viewing Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

In Unterbach you can see the FA-18 of the Swiss missile launch and land.
And sometimes you even cross the path of a fighter jets .... That's definitely only in Switzerland (:-)
