Giessbach Falls is one of Switzerland's most beautiful waterfalls, cascading over 14 stages with a total height of 500 meters directly into turquoise Lake Brienz. Accessible by boat from Interlaken or Brienz, then by historic funicular from 1879 (Europe's oldest of its kind). The historic Grandhotel Giessbach overlooks the falls directly. Walking trails allow close-up views from different angles. The combination of waterfall, lake, and historic hotel creates a magical atmosphere.
