About this place

The town itself is functional rather than pretty; its genius is position. Use the excellent boats and trains to reach Giessbach falls, Iseltwald and the high villages, and take the funicular up Harder Kulm for the two-lakes panorama. A regional travel pass pays for itself within two days.
