Illuminating the fir forests like a spotlight in the dark, the misty Giessbachfälle plummet 500m over 14 rocky ridges. Europe’s oldest funicular , dating to 1879, creaks up from the boat station (one way/return Sfr6/9), but it’s only a 15-minute walk up to the most striking section of the falls. Giessbach is easily reached by boat (return from Brienz Sfr18, from Interlaken Ost Sfr39).
