With an entrance fee of 10 CHF, the Aareschlucht is not really expensive.

Thanks to a fictional story, the Reichenballfall has become a celebrity. Because here at this point the most famous detective Sherlock Holmes fell in the fight with his archrival Professor Moriarty in the Reichenbachfall. The author and inventor of the detective Arthur Conan Doyle wanted to end the writing of other Holmes stories with this story, but he underestimated the large fan base. There were funeral services, protests and even threats. Ultimately, thanks to a friend, Doyle was persuaded to continue writing novels and short stories featuring the famous detective.

A little literature tip: If you now want to know how Holmes survived the supposed fall into the Reichenbach Falls, you should read the short story "The Empty House".

If you've always wanted to see where Sherlock Holmes met his end, this is the place for you! :)
A cable car takes you comfortably to the top (price for adults: 8 francs). Beautiful waterfall and great views of Meiringen and the surrounding area on the hiking trail. Definitely recommended!
