Forests, riverbanks, and rugged cliffs: The path of the three waterfalls has much to offer. The hike leads from Bönigen via Iseltwald to Brienz. The trail can be walked in one go or in two to three stages. The first section leads from the Eschwanden waterfall along a wide forest path to the fishing village of Iseltwald. The second section takes you to the mystical Mülbach waterfall above Iseltwald. On a well-developed hiking trail with views of Lake Brienz, you finally reach the third waterfall: the Giessbach Falls, which cascade dramatically into Lake Brienz.
