About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1811. Excerpt: ... Lake of Brienz.--Giesbach Falls. A boat, with 3 rowers, from Brienz to Inlerlachen, stopping at the Giesbach, costs 63 balz=about9 Fr. fr. There is a very rough road along the N. shore of the lake; the guides with the horses may be sent round by it, and desired to meet the travellers close to the bridge at Inlerlachen. It takes 25 minutes to row from Brienz to the landing-place: lose to Ihe outlet of the Giesbach, where travellers begin to ascend the steep height leading to the Falls. They are a succession of cascades, leaping step by step from the top of the mountain; and though inferior in height to the Beichenbach, surpass it in beauty, and in the adjuncts of a rich forest of fir, i hrough the midst of which they break their way, The Giesbach is one of the prettiest of waterfalls; there is nothingwild about it, and.the immediate contact of green turfy knolls and dark woods, has the effect of a park scene. It is possible to pass behind the middle fall by means of a gallery constructed beneath the shelving rock, from which it casts itself down; and the effect of the landscape seen athwart this curtain of water is singular. The cottage opposite the Falls is inhabited by the schoolmaster of Brienz, whose family and himself are celebrated as the best choristers of native airs in Switzerland. He is now a patriarch of 61, and most of his children are married; but he is training his grand-children to the same profession of songsters. The concert, accompanied by the Alpine horn, with which travellers are saluted on their departure, is very sweet. Good specimens of the Swiss manufacture of carved wood may be purchased at the (iiesbach. There is a path from the Giesbach to the top of the Faulhorh, a walk of nearly 5 hours. The lake of Brienz is about 8 miles long...
