History
Giessbach became a popular 19th‑century tourist destination after steamship routes opened Brienzersee; the Grandhotel dates to that era and helped establish the falls as a visitor attraction.
Conservation
Lake Brienz’s clear waters are sensitive to runoff and visitor pressure—stick to paths, pack out waste, and avoid disturbing shoreline vegetation.
