Discover Brienz: A Charming Village of Wood Carving and Scenic Beauty
One of the most romantic parts of Brienz is the Brunngasse, renowned for having once been awarded the title of "most beautiful street in Europe." This picturesque street is lined with 18th-century houses, each adorned with exquisite wood carvings. Brienz, celebrated as the "village of carving," boasts a long-standing tradition in wood processing and continues to host a school for both carving and violin-making.
For those seeking winter sports, nearby Axalp offers a charming, family-friendly winter sports area, featuring the “Axiland!” learning and experience slopes designed for children, away from the hustle and bustle. More experienced snow sports enthusiasts can enjoy the Meiringen-Hasliberg ski region, which is easily accessible.
Strolling along the traffic-free lake promenade, you can enjoy views of small boat ports and playgrounds, making for a refreshing experience. In the summer, both locals and visitors flock to the lake for swimming, reveling in the ever-changing moods of the water. For a unique perspective, consider taking a cruise on the historic salon paddle steamer, “Lötschberg.”
Brienz is conveniently located near two railway stations: one is on the narrow-gauge railway line connecting the famous holiday destinations of Interlaken, Meiringen-Hasliberg, Brünig, Lucerne, and Engelberg. The other station serves as the base for the steam rack railway that ascends to the panoramic hiking peak of Brienzer Rothorn.
