Hari you are welcome. A friend stopped by in Meiringen sometime back and quite liked the place. Hope you do too.
BTW – you may want to try Riffelberg as well. Mark Twain wrote a short piece called ‘Climbing the Riffelberg’ in A Tramp Abroad. I have yet to read the piece, but it is a lovely walk from Riffelalp to Riffelberg and then to Riffelsee. The view from Riffelberg is especially enchanting.

Hey Madhuri, thanks for that info. Am in Zurich in Nov and now I guess Meiringen needs to be on the itinerary.

Hi Hari,
Sherlock Holmes died in a place called Meiringen – a small place near Interlaken and is closer to the Swiss center. The region I mention here is near the Southern west part of the country – near the Matterhorn glacier.
I crossed Meiringen on train while on my way to Engleberg from Interlaken, but couldn’t stop there due to time constraints.

Wasnt it somewhere here that Sherlock Holmes fought with the Professor Moriarty and fell off a cliff to his death (and eventual reincarnation)?

Hey – thanks for suggesting the blog. Found some good pieces there. Although I am back from Switzerland for now, I think I can use suggestions on some other hikes.

You should check out the besthike blog. Their contributing writer did a similar trip a while ago and posted about it. Perhaps it could be of use.

Thanks Scieneguy. I was stunned with the wild beauty of the Alps myself. Hiking in them, I found many places from where it was hard to move or take your eyes off.

Beautiful imagery. The sheer wilderness of the Alps is stunning.

Considering that I live in India, most of my journeys are India trips!
Chicu: a childhood in Goa is a dream. (Though of course, it would be even better to go to college there and enjoy the party town!)
