Description
The lakeside path from Iseltwald to Giessbach attracts crowds of walkers and hikers in summer. In its shadow lies the forest path, slightly higher up the slope. Yet this route also offers hikers magnificent scenic views. The hiking trail is suitable for an outdoor stroller.
The starting point is the Grandhotel Giessbach, which stands like a fairy-tale castle in a magical location above Lake Brienz. The palace hotel owes its name to the Giessbach, which just a stone's throw away crashes down in a majestic waterfall.
