Giessbach Falls
Dropping a few hundred meters over a series of steps into the lake of
Brienz, this scenic waterfall is the reason, why aparently alndscape painters
used to hang out in this area so often that an enterpreneuring local figured out
it might be a good idea to build an guest-house out there in the wilderness. The
guest-house overtime evolved into the grand-hotel that is still there today -
now mostly for retreats and events, since modern tourists now mostly seek
activities and excitement and no longer relaxation by the sight of natural
beauty. But the waterfall still makes for a spectacular backdrop when having
dinner on the terrace.
