The glacier water round trip
From Interlaken, the railway (BOB) takes you through the valley of the Schwarze Lütschine to the glacier village of Grindelwald. The subsequent ascent in the yellow Grindelwaldbus at the foot of the Wetterhorn to crossing the pass of the Grosse Scheidegg (1 960 metres above sea level) is a very special experience. Here you will encounter a beautiful landscape with lush alpine meadows and unique flora and fauna.
The descent leads through a magical, wildly romantic area with ancient cheese dairies, lovely pastures and rugged mountain landscapes down to Schwarzwaldalp. From the Schwarzwaldalp, the Postbus takes you to Rosenlaui. Before you decide to continue to Meiringen, you should not miss the wild and romantic glacier gorge. From Meiringen, the Zentralbahn railway will take you to the idyllic carving village of Brienz and to Interlake Ost. To switch from land to water, it is best to start your return journey from Brienz to Interlaken on board of a boat from the Lake Brienz fleet.
