Writer Arthur Conan Doyle was fascinated by the Reichenbach Falls - and had his hero Sherlock Holmes die there. We take the nostalgic train up to the waterfall, experience breathtaking views and the last battle of the famous detective. Afterwards, a relaxed valley hike follows via old paths through Geissholz back to Meiringen.
