Day 3: In the footsteps of Sherlock Holmes
BETWEEN HEAVEN AND ABYSS: HIKE TO THE REICHENBACH FALLS AND THE AARE GORGE
WONDERS OF NATURE IN BERNESE OBERLAND AND GLASS CRAFTSMANSHIP
Swiss railways enjoy an excellent reputation for their reliability and quality, as well as their impressive rail network connecting cities and crossing the Alps. The Swiss are proud of this, as they are of their stunning landscapes. The Brünig Panorama Express takes you to Meiringen, passing small villages, crystal-clear lakes and impressive mountain scenery along the way.
In Meiringen, a historic funicular railway takes you up to the legendary Reichenbach Falls, the scene where Sherlock Holmes and his arch-enemy Professor Moriarty both plunge to their deaths in a fight in Conan Doyle's story "The Final Problem".
A narrow footpath takes you through the Aare Gorge, along a rushing river that winds its way impressively through 200-metre-high rock faces, offering an incomparable natural spectacle.
On the way to Lucerne, we make a stop in Hergiswil. You visit a glass factory where glass crafts are made as they were over 200 years ago. In the glass labyrinth, you experience a fascinating world of glass, light and sound that challenges your senses. Free evening for individual exploration of Lucerne.
