MEIRINGEN

by JudyinPA - last update: Oct 21, 2002

BEAUTIFUL AREA

THE VILLAGE
MEIRINGEN IS THE CHIEF TOWN IN THE HASLI VALLEY ABOVE LAKE BRIENZ. WE STAYED IN A CHALET APARTMENT IN HASLIBERG REUTI ON THE MOUNTAIN ABOVE MEIRINGEN FOR A WEEK. REICHENBACHFALLE IS JUST OUTSIDE OF TOWN AND HAS A FUNICULAR TO THE TOP. THIS IS THE FALLS FROM WHICH IT IS THOUGHT THE FICTIONAL CHARACTER, SHERLOCK HOLMES AND MORIARTY FELL TO THEIR DEATH.
DIED, FIGHTING WITH PROFESSOR MORIARTY

SHERLOCK HOLMES

THERE IS A MUSEUM CONTAINING MEMORABILLA BELONGING TO HOLMES AND DOCTOR WATSON. HIS CHARACTER WAS RESUSCITATED BY CONAN DOYLE A FEW YEARS AFTER THE FALL FROM REICHENBACHFALLE.

30 MINUTES FOR US TO GET TO THE STATION

WE WALKED A QUARTER OF A MILE TO THE BUS STATION AND THEN RODE THE BUS DOWN THE MOUNTAIN TO BRUNIG WHERE WE COULD CATCH THE TRAIN TO MOST PLACES IN SWITZERLAND.
OUR FAVORITE STATION

 Hasliberg itself seems to be off the beaten path. Haven't been there yet, but it's on my list! BTW, I love to stay in private homes/apartments!

 Those are some big snowflakes in the chalet picture! Meiringen looks pretty nice. I've never heard of this place!
