Reichenbachfall — Reichenbach, 3860 Meiringen, Switzerland

Nice hike up to the waterfall that inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The cascade was a bit weak on the day we visited so a little underwhelming. Shame the funicular wasn't running but after driving to the area the walk did us good. I think had it not been made famous it wouldn't be more impressive than the many other falls coming down along the mountain faces, but non-the-less we enjoyed the visit and would certainly recommend for fans of Sherlock Holmes.

This cascade is THE BEST ! Absolutely stunning, better than Lauterbrunnen. Great funicular, old fashioned, real adventure trip. Your kids will love the ride. Buy the round ticket with the Aareschlucht. Not expensive. Then you follow the trail to the Aareschlucht, 2h. Take along some food you’ll find drinks at the gas station when you get back to the road before the Aareschlucht 😍

Started with amazing views all over the mountains. Then you take the funicular train and at every meter you go up the views are always breath taking. The waterfall is amazing as well the information about Sherlock Holmes. Loved it

Took the train up and hiked down. Hike is steep in some places. Lots of fun. We also hiked up to the top. Beautiful views of the falls and the area. Worth a visit and very impressive in person. We came for Sherlock and even the non-Sherlock readers enjoyed the visit.

A great excursion to famous falls. The funicular was well worth it, and then the short hike was nice with lovely views.

The Sherlock Holmes funicular in Meiringen opened in 1899 to connect the village with Reichenbach Falls, the site of Holmes’ legendary showdown with Moriarty. Originally powered by water ballast, it was restored in the 1990s and now carries visitors up the same dramatic route, blending Swiss engineering with literary history.
