Iseltwald Village and Castle on Lake Brienz

Highlight • Settlement

By boat from Interlaken to Iseltwald. Beautiful little place. From here you can take a hike to the Giessbach Falls on the panoramic path along Lake Brienz.

Lake Brienz Lakeside Trail

Highlight • Trail

On this lakeside trail, you can admire breathtaking turquoise waters framed by dramatic Alpine peaks. The trail offers easy, well-maintained tracks that wind through lush forests and past picturesque Swiss villages, making it an ideal place for a leisurely stroll. This route is particularly beautiful in the morning light or late afternoon, when you can catch a glimpse of the golden reflections of the lake.

Lake Brienz Lakeside Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very nice hiking trail on the steep, unspoilt lake shore, partly knocked out of the rock. Atmospheric views across the water to Iseltwald and Brienz.

Giessbach Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

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

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.
