Lake Brienz

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Lake Brienz is nestled between the Emmental and Bernese Alps.

Directly behind the Aare tributary, you walk along a gravel path 1m from the lake.

The lake is poor in nutrients and one of the cleanest in Switzerland. As a result, the slowly sinking, small glacier particles come into their own - the turquoise color.

Giessbach Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Beautiful in all seasons, although you have to push the bike a short distance. The waterfall is gigantic. There are always many visitors here!
