The Rosenlaui Glacier Gorge near Meiringen is a natural wonder in the Bernese Oberland. Over millennia, meltwater from the Rosenlaui Glacier has eroded the rock, creating smooth walls, whirlpools, and narrow passages. Today, you can marvel at the approximately 500-meter-long gorge, part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage Site, on a well-secured path.

This gorge is really very impressive. In my opinion, much more so than the others (like the Aare Gorge or something like that). You are extremely close to the roaring water!
