Beautiful in all seasons, although you have to push the bike a short distance. The waterfall is gigantic. There are always many visitors here!

View of Lake Brienz from Giessbach Falls

Highlight • Viewpoint

At Giessbachfall I, you’ll have breathtaking views of Lake Brienz, framed by the cascading Giessbach Falls, which tumble down lush, forested cliffs. The turquoise lake lies serenely below, contrasting beautifully with the powerful, misty falls rushing past you. A historic footbridge allows you to cross directly behind the waterfall, adding a touch of adventure.

Today is supposed to be the most beautiful and, above all, rain-free day of the week. I suggested hiking or swimming to choose from. The choice fell on hiking (certainly it didn't come from my children). So looking for something nice so that everyone gets their money's worth. In the end we went with two families and dogs and made …

The hike along the Giessbach Falls and the Giessbach Forest is indescribable. Start at the Grand Hotel Giessbach. Along the waterfalls, which plunge 400 meters into the turquoise-green Lake Brienz.
