Meiringen Essentials

Meiringen is defined by its connection to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and its dramatic Alpine geology. The town hosts the Sherlock Holmes Museum and the Reichenbach Falls, the fictional site of the detective's final confrontation. Nearby, the Aare Gorge and Rosenlaui Glacier Gorge showcase deep limestone carvings and glacial erosion. Regional history is further represented by the Ballenberg Open-Air Museum’s traditional Swiss buildings and the 13th-century Restiturm castle ruins.
