Reichenbach Falls
The Reichenbach Falls (Reichenbachfall) are a series of waterfalls on the Reichenbach stream in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. They have a total drop of 250 metres . At 90 metres, the Upper Reichenbach Falls is one of the highest cataracts in the Alps. Today, a hydro-electric power company harnesses the flow of the Reichenbach Falls during certain times of year, reducing its flow.
Aar Gorge
The Aar Gorge is a section of the river Aar that carves through a limestone ridge near the town of Meiringen. The gorge is an indirect product of glaciation; 10,000 years ago, just as the Ice Age was coming to an end, torrential runoff water from melting glaciers eroded a deep, narrow chasm through the limestone barrier. Although barely one mile long, this passage is bordered by sheer cliffs up to 165 feet (50 m) high on either side.
Reichenbachfall railway
The Reichenbachfall railway is a funicular in the Swiss canton of Berne. It links Willigen, near Meiringen, with the famous Reichenbach Falls, where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional hero, Sherlock Holmes, apparently dies at the end of "The Adventure of the Final Problem". The funicular, opened in 1899, has a length of 714 metres and overcomes a vertical distance of 244 metres with a maximum gradient of 58%.
Meiringen railway station
Meiringen is a railway station in the town of Meiringen in the Swiss canton of Bern. Meiringen is a railway junction at the meeting point of two railway lines.
