Giessbach Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

The water plunges approximately 400 meters. About halfway down, a walkway allows you to go behind the water. The view of the Grand Hotel from several vantage points is breathtaking.

The funicular railway was built from the shores of Lake Brienz up to the Granhotel Giessbach and the Giessbach Falls as early as 1897.
The ride up to the Giessbach Falls is still an experience in a special setting today.

Grandhotel Giessbach

Highlight • Monument

The non-profit Giessbach Foundation was founded in 1983 by the famous animal and environmental activist Franz Weber to save the historically valuable grand hotel from the Belle Epoque from demolition and to preserve this beautiful piece of home above Lake Brienz for the Swiss people as a common heritage.

View of Lake Brienz

Highlight • Viewpoint

Swimming in Lake Brienz
The clear but often cold Lake Brienz offers only a few wild bathing spots due to the steep slopes, but is considered the cleanest lake in Switzerland. There are four lidos spread around the lake. These are the Niederried outdoor pool, the Bönigen lido, the Iseltwald lido and the Brienz lido. An overview of the four lidos can be found here: «Lake Brienz lidos». If you need warmer temperatures for your bathing fun, the nearby Burgseeli in Ringgenberg is recommended.
