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.
Lake Lungern
Lake Lungern (German: Lungerersee, also spelled Lungernsee or Lungerensee) is a small natural lake in Obwalden, Switzerland which is named after the town Lungern on its shore. The lake is drained by the Sarner Aa river, which flows through the Sarnersee and into Lake Lucerne. The lake was originally much larger, and covered a large part of the valley it is situated in. Starting in 1836, its level was lowered by 36 metres through an artificial drainage tunnel of 380 m length.
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%.
