Giessbach Falls

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

Aare Route Lakeside Cycle Path (Brienzersee South Shore)

Highlight • Cycleway

Great bike path on the southern shore of Lake Brienz. Constant up and down and also relatively steep! But the lake presents itself again and again.

A challenging but very scenic hike. Lots of paved roads, but also lots of gravel and occasional stones. We used an e-bike; the 625 kWh battery wasn't enough to complete the trip. Charging is available at the tourist office in Brienz (just ask inside).

Unfortunately the weather wasn't so good today, but that didn't detract from the tour. As a result, there weren't that many people out and about. We enjoyed it.
