SWITZERLAND | MEIRINGEN - Five Things To Do In Meiringen - Plus A Cow Parade!

Meiringen located in the Haslital valley in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland, is a charming place with a rich blend of natural beauty, folklore, and history.
It sits at the foot of several mountain passes, including the Brünig Pass, which connects it to central Switzerland, and the Grimsel Pass leading to the Rhone Valley in southern Switzerland.
Things to do in Meiringen
1. Stroll the streets of Meiringen
Enjoy the town’s charm and the Swiss chalets along the main street.
2. Aare Gorge
The Aare Gorge between Meiringen and Innertkirchen is nearly 200 metres deep and barely more than a metre wide at its narrowest point.
3. Reichenbach Fall
Meiringen is famous for its proximity to the Reichenbach Falls, a stunning waterfall. These falls gained literary significance as they were the setting for the final fight between Sherlock Holmes and his arch-nemesis, Professor Moriarty, in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional works.
4. Sherlock Holmes
Because of the Reichenback Falls showdown of Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty, Meiringen has become a Sherlock Holmes fan haven. With Sherlock Holmes venues, pastries, sausages and everything else in between, fans will love it here.
5. Culinary Claim to Fame
Meiringen proudly claims to be the birthplace of the meringue. This sweet treat, made from whipped egg whites and sugar, has become a beloved delicacy worldwide.
6. Alpine Cow Parade
We were lucky to be there when this happened. The descent from the mountains only happens once a year in autumn with festivities around town. The other time there is a parade is during the ascent to the mountains around spring.
