Reichenbach Falls

Reichenbach Falls is a 250-meter waterfall in the Alps near the town of Meyringen. It is the strongest waterfall in the Alpine mountain range.

The reservoir is famous for the fact that at the end of the nineteenth century, Arthur Conan Doyle, admiring the beauty of the waterfall, thought that the famous hero of his stories, Sherlock Holmes, would die here, which was described in the story “The Last Case of Holmes”. Thanks to these stories, a monument to the detective was erected near the waterfall.

The waterfall, the beauty of the landscape and the natural latitudes are very popular among visitors. Meyringen is known to everyone as the birthplace of the meze. Beze from Mairigen is considered the most delicious delicacy in Switzerland.

You can get to the waterfall both by car and by rail. From May to October, the road runs from 9:00 am to 11:45, after a break. From 13:15 to 17:45 works every 15-20 minutes. The journey time is about 8 minutes.
