Reichenbach Falls, Waterfall cascade in Schattenhalb, Switzerland.
The Reichenbach Falls consists of seven distinct drops along the Rychenbach stream, with the upper section reaching a height of 110 meters.
During the 19th century, the English painter Joseph Mallord William Turner created several paintings depicting the natural power of these falls.
The falls gained worldwide recognition as the setting of the confrontation between Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty in The Final Problem.
Visitors can access the falls through a funicular railway that operates from spring to autumn, connecting the town of Meiringen to the viewing platforms.
A hydroelectric power station controls the water flow of the falls during specific periods, temporarily altering their natural appearance and intensity.
