Fantastically beautiful place, the hotel offers very beautiful views of the lake and waterfalls

Source of the little Emme

Above a small forest, the spring water bubbles out of the ground as if from nowhere, rushing down into the forest over moss-covered rocks and forming two waterfalls. It then flows as a stream through meadow slopes down into the valley to Schönenboden, where it finally flows into the Waldemme. This bubbling spring - known as the Emmensprung - thus forms one of the sources of the Waldemme. The Emmensprung can be reached in around 50 minutes from the valley station of the Sörenberg-Brienzer Rothorn cable car. The Emmensprung is also on the "Emmenuferweg" between the Brienzer Rothorn and Emmenbrücke, the first stage of which leads from the Brienzer Rothorn over the Eissee and this Emmensprung to Sörenberg.

At the fork above the bridge, two paths lead to Kemmeriboden and require a decision. Unfortunately, there is no time information for the two alternatives. The path marked here down to the stream and over the bridge on the other side of the Bärselbach is clearly the longer one, because it leads in wide arcs to the south and east via Schönisei and Küblisbühl as well as up and down again, partly on sections of road. But you hike beautiful sections along the Emme - with great waterfalls near Küblisbühl. The other path straight ahead to the west initially leads into a charming gorge of the Bärselbach, but then further away from the brook via Hirschwendiberg to Kemmeriboden. A circular route via Kemmeriboden-Bad would also be possible, so that one gets to know both routes.

The longing for nature is growing. Genuine experiences in the nature park of the Grandhotel Giessbach are possible at any time of the year. The energy of the waterfall, the trees and the rock formations is always surprising. In any light and at any time of the year, the sight provides breathtaking moments that invigorate the mind and soul. The Giessbach Waterfall: raging, rushing, splashing, alive and different every day. Illuminated at night, mystical during the day, it forms the heart and the source of power in our surroundings. Walking under it, feeling and breathing in the power of the waterfall is an incomparable natural experience.

historic grand hotel from the Belle Epoque

On the way there are great views of the lake and at the end of the Giessbach, which thunders down 400 meters in over 14 steps.

The non-profit Giessbach Foundation was founded in 1983 by the famous animal and environmental activist Franz Weber to save the historically valuable grand hotel from the Belle Epoque from demolition and to preserve this beautiful piece of home above Lake Brienz for the Swiss people as a common heritage.
