Giessbach Falls
A cascade descending through forest to Lake Brienz beside the historic Grandhotel Giessbach.

Allowing time for the principal feature and its immediate surroundings gives useful context for travellers interested in waterfall, nature, landscape. It pairs naturally with other nearby sights in the same region while retaining enough historical, cultural or landscape interest to justify a dedicated visit.
