About
The Giessbach Falls are a breathtaking cascade that plunges 400 meters into Lake Brienz, skirting the historic Grandhotel Giessbach. Visitors can enjoy the falls from multiple viewpoints, including the historic funicular station that offers sweeping panoramic vistas. The waterfall is illuminated at night, creating a magical spectacle, while each season brings its own allure—autumn turns the water’s mist into a swirl of gold, and spring floods the stream from melting snow.
