Rain was predicted for midday, so I decided to take the boat to Giessbach.
The nostalgic paddle steamer "Lötschberg" is the jewel of Lake Brienz.
Leaving the dock by the Interlaken Ost train station.
Bönigen was the first stop.
Who is ready for a ride on the Jet Boat? No me!
The steamship "Lötschberg" on Lake Brienz (built in 1914) embodies pure nostalgia and romance. The saloon steamer was restored according to the principles of monument preservation and was awarded the "Special Award 2008" by ICOMOS, the International Council on Monuments and Sites.

In the Korean Netflix series Crash Landing on You, Ri Jeong Hyeok's sad, yet beautiful, piano scene was shot on the pier.
To get to the Giessbach Falls, you can either hike up the hill or take the funicular.
"Regardless of whether you reach it by the historic funicular railway from Giessbach See landing stage, on foot by means of a leisurely hike or from the nearby car park, you can’t mistake the mighty thunder of the Giessbach Falls. After a short ascent, the 20-minute circular trail takes you straight to the Giessbach Falls. The section of the trail that passes behind one of the waterfalls is particularly fascinating. Your gaze is drawn past the splashing mass of water to the fairytale Grandhotel Giessbach, the turquoise waters of Lake Brienz and the Brienz Ridge. Following rainfall or when the snow thaws in spring, the Giessbach stream carries a lot of water. The thundering cascades make the water swirl even more imposingly and the spray is refreshing and makes you feel truly alive – a unique natural experience."
Walking through the forest to reach the higher waterfall. You can usually find berries along the lake.
Do you see the face of moss?
Behind the waterfall.
More moss on this side of the waterfalls. More places for fairies, gnomes, and moss monsters to hide.
The water from the Giessbach stream plunges down a total of 14 steps into the turquoise waters of Lake Brienz.
