Wikipedia: The Aare Gorge (German: Aareschlucht) is a section of the river Aare that carves through a limestone ridge near the town of Meiringen, in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. The gorge is an indirect product of glaciation; 10,000 years ago, just as the Ice Age was coming to an end, torrential runoff water from melting glaciers eroded a deep, narrow chasm through the limestone barrier.
Not only the gorge, this route includes after the gorge:
- Zwirgi Staudamm
- Sherlock Holmes Absturzstelle
- Reichenbach Falls
- A walk in Meiringen, where the where meringue was first created.
