We’re up early this morning to catch the train to Meiringen, which is about half an hour to the east of Interlaken. We dump our bags at the hotel and catch a local train to the Aareschlucht. A ‘schlucht’ is a gorge, and this one is pretty impressive. The Aare is the river running through it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s a pity we have to wear masks, but traffic through the gorge is 2-way and the path is narrow in places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At their highest, the walls of the gorge rise 180 metres above us.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The gorge is about a mile long.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We had lunch at the restaurant at the end of the gorge, and set off for the next attraction. It’s the Reichenbach falls.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On May the 4th 1891, Sherlock Holmes had his famous showdown with professor Moriarty here, and as long as you are in Meiringen, you won’t be allowed to forget it. A little funicular takes us up to the falls.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s the waterfall.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We hike up to the top. Views back to Meiringen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That was a big day, and we’re really looking forward to dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
