A low morning sun glances off Lake Lungern as passengers step into a private vehicle and follow the road north from Lucerne. The air smells of wet stone and alpine grass; the house used in the series sits framed against the lake, quiet now but vivid on the mind like a paused scene.

History
The villages around Lake Brienz developed as fishing and woodworking communities; Giessbach’s hotel dates to the 19th century, built to welcome early Alpine tourists arriving by steamer.
Conservation
These lake and waterfall sites are sensitive to trampling and litter; visitors are asked to stay on paths, avoid disturbing vegetation and pack out waste to protect aquatic habitats.
Reserve your spot on the Crash Landing on You themed Private Day Tour from Lucerne today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Book morning departures
Early starts avoid midday crowds at Iseltwald and Giessbach and offer softer side-light for photography.
Wear sturdy shoes
Piers and the falls area have uneven boards and wet stone — closed-toe shoes with grip help prevent slips.
Respect private property
The iconic house sits near residences; observe from public viewpoints and avoid trespassing on private driveways.
Carry cash for small purchases
Some lakeside kiosks and parking lots accept only cash — a small bill makes buying coffee or paying parking easier.
Waterproof jacket
Mountain weather changes quickly; a lightweight waterproof layer keeps you comfortable at lakes and falls.
Sturdy walking shoes
Good grip is important for wet piers, steps and uneven paths around viewing points.
Camera or smartphone with zoom
A mid-range zoom (24–105mm equivalent) captures lake, bridge and waterfall details from a distance.
Portable charger
Long days of photo-taking and navigation drain batteries—carry a power bank to stay charged.
