Reichenbach Falls have a special place in English fiction where it is best known for its location as the final fight between Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty. The huge 250 m fall is a multi-tier natural attraction. Arranged marvelously into natural bends, the falls have a gorgeous white look and attracts millions of visitors each year. Look at the natural segmented effect that the falls have created into the neighboring cliff rock. In theory it is a simple tourist spot but, it is a bit of hard work.
